I see the politics going on in the country, and it makes me a bit worried.
Six Apart was a horrible owner for LiveJournal though... did nothing with it, and pretty much let it die. I have been hoping to hear that they had sold it.
Lots of potential.

And, of course, Putin will now pay more attention to database experts.

All in all? I just don't want the service shutdown :)

But there was a big turmoil in Russian segment of LJ, that since the segment is controlled by a company based in Russia, they must provide information to FSB (Federal Security Bureau (former KGB)) such detail of information about the users, that it would probably be constituted a privacy violation by US laws. Now that whole LJ is owned by a Russia-based company, all accounts are subject to this. They got much data mining to do :)

As you imply, no Russian or data controlled by a Russian is truly safe from the FSB. Same applies in Britain, there's a right to access the data. I think not so in the US.
