Moscow - Russian Internet users threatened with strict government supervision. Because the growth of Western Internet service such as Gmail and Skype more and more fertile in the land of the Kremlin.
This speculation arises when the domestic spy agency of Russia (FSB) while in a meeting last week proposed the closure of a number of popular Internet services.
"The use of the services of the West increasingly out of control and could jeopardize Russia's security," said a senior FSB officer Alexander Andreyechkin.
On the other hand, Andreyechkin specifically proposes to close a Hotmail, Gmail and Skype. The reason, as quoted by the Telegraph, the three services that use encryption algorithms that make the government more and more difficult to monitor Internet users. However, the proposed Andreyechkin directly contradicted government officials.
Government officials called the FSB officials 'beyond the authority and inappropriate remark related to these popular internet services'. Later, the Minister of Communications Igor Shchegolev said the government had no plans to close Skype, Gmail, Hotmail or other foreign service.
Even so, the Russian government is expected to provide easier access to Russian intelligence agents to monitor the communications of Internet users. RIA Novosti news agencies reported, in a meeting last week, the group charged with drafting a proposal related to the use of cryptographic equipment in public communications network has been formed.
