Russia’s Yandex stacks up against Google - John Dvorak's Second Opinion - MarketWatch: " . . . What makes these offerings so interesting to me? For one thing, they are less susceptible to U.S. government snooping, which according to most sources, is rampant. Nobody has convinced me that the government is not looking at all electronic communications all the time. Most Americans do not seem to care about their privacy, but some do. Google shows an ever growing number of requests by the government to obtain information about all web activity of various individuals. Not that the Russians would be any better, but they are probably more like our government and more interested in snooping on their own people rather than snooping on cautious Americans. . . . Executives and investors often need secure back channel communications. It’s hard to know what is secure, but sometimes you can be secure by being obscure. Yandex, right now, fills that bill."
