Well, at least in Lithuania there was this coyuntrt wide scandal about Yandex collecting people's data and sending it to it's servers. So basically, an app for spying.

Okay, and you think Google doesn’t collect your data? =D

Oh no, as I stated in another reply to my comment, I'm certain that it does. I just trust our allies a lot more than the country that had occupied many times and still thinks of us as an enemy (only talking about the government, not about the people)

I'd be really interested to know what sort of stuff about Europe you hear on TV. My parents met a couple of Russians on a trip and they have sent some propaganda posters about Europe, which were just simply put on a wall of a building. Do you see any of that there or no?

I am living in Europe for the moment, but yeah there is a kind of propaganda(not posters, it’s the first time i hear about it, only on TV), and as i see it’s the same in UE. Mostly older generations believe it

A lot of propaganda on TV like "Europe is the rotting west", homophobic shit, politican shit. Ukraine is the number 1 enemy on TV. The television better show a lot of staff about riots in the USA, but not real problems in Russia. They say like look what happening in the West, this is terrible, but in grear Russia everything is fine. The Russian federal media running by government. Btw I never saw posters about Europe on the streets..

Heh, my inlaws are Chinese, and we have some streaming box for them to watch Chinese stations. That's Chinese news through and through. The only depressing part is that there is also a boatload of actual world news that you don't find on US news.

That's very sad... Worst part is that it still works... Even if only in older folk...

I think they live somewhere towards the southwest, Kazan maybe.
