    It’s so much effort spying on you all. Can you send it directly through our servers instead?

    Let me guess, closed source (client and server) using custom encryption.

    Hope to be wrong in both accounts.

      Are you serious? The KGB has full access to VK.

      Or course everything that is posted on this shit service will be fully tracked.

          Depends how you look at the russians’ approach to security service “reform” post 1991. 😄

          I wasn’t making a pedantic statement.

        Hard doubt. Unless it’s a closed source fork

          Of course it’s a closed source fork 🤣

          Did you really assume I thought they’d open source their national spyware system on fucking Gitlab?

    Such a terrible idea unless it’s free software.

    Are there substantial numbers of Russians who seriously wouldn’t be wise to this?
