The problem is not Russophobia. The problem is that in Russia, LJ is one of the few media outlets that is not controlled or influenced by Putin's people. Since Putin has a rep for taking over that which he disapproves of, how long is it before Putin or a front company controlled by Putin buys out SUP, thus putting LJ under the same restrictions that Russian media have?
Secondly: does SUP allow data mining, and if so, do I want information about me going to a company that could possibly end up getting owned by a guy who used to be top dog in the KGB and still has a great deal of influence over the KGB's successor organization, the FSP? Bad enough that the US government has access to my private info.
