Only if you want it to.

Sounds like the Russians are getting ready to hack the world, wipe out bank balances, crash stocks, and plunge everyone who isnt Russian into a black hole

[Kwacky]

They've been able to do that for some time.

[Blade]

They have but now they have created a stand alone system to isolate them from the effects of a counter response.

It's more to do with censorship. It still relies on the same tech.

I think that Russia gets more credit than it deserves.

Yep- the tech is identical and most of of the core infrastructure of the web is open source and easy to obtain.

Sadly thats its strength and weakness at the same time. Makes sense for a closed country to close off the web.

Ha, just closed off counties closing off the web??

Don't forget the great monitoring network that sits around the UK, and the sensoring in place "to protect the children". If the government hadn't fecked the project up so badly they would have had you giving up your personal details just for a bit of porn.

The British government would love to have full control over what you see and read, but because of this so called democracy they do it in a typically back handed way.

Agreed. The standards need a good look at before its too late (which it probably is anyway...)

I think that Putin's Russia gets a lot less attention than it warrants.

Just corrected that for you Dazzle.

Imho the Russian's are playing the long plan. Unlike the Chinese, as a state, they have less to loose if the current world order were to collapse. Options like a stand alone web system do give them another edge, and being able to exercise some control over content would seem to be a useful side effect.

Playing the long plan?? The long plan to what??
