This kind of nonsense is only mandated out of fear, but in reality it's not only colossally stupid, but also really difficult to enforce. Any proper business uses one. Anyone who wants privacy, and ad network anonymity uses one. There's plenty of other uses people would want one, obviously
I just think it's corporate interests, not fear, that's driving this. Terror and Children are just the easiest excuse to ensure a lot of people go blindly along with it.
There aren't any real corporations left in Russia, that aren't either government owned, or actively circlejerking around the president for any praise. But otherwise you're right
Oligarchy seems to work out pretty well for the rich elite of Russia, until they piss off Putin.
Yeah, historically that's been the case. Climb fast, fall faster
