Comment I am Russian ISP sysadm. See what insider says! (Score 2) 224
Hi, All!
This story is 2 years old. There is a SORM-1 tech rules for ISP, according to it, ISP must start spying for some user on cops requiring with judje permission. You cant get ISP license without it.
But, 2 years ago, cops (KGB mostly) wants to require SORM-2 tech rules from ISP. Really, it includes leased line from ISP to KGB, and transparent traffic passing throw it. In Russia, leased lines is dear, so providers protests against it, referring to Constitution. But there is a better way. My boss gives a box of vodka (20 buttles) to local KGB office, and gives them some free accounts for their children. (KGB officers themselvs are too stupid to use the Net.) So all was happy.
If you are interesting in this story, I will say you a story about my user sending a letter to Eltsin, and KGB reaction about this.
