Russia’s top officials have been unnerved by the idea that data collected and stored for years in Google databases could slip into the hands of the US government and expose some of their most secret and sensitive communications.
Similar fears have already driven other expensive military projects with rewards for the masses that come primarily as an afterthought.
One such invention is GLONASS — a rival of the Global Position System (GPS) meant to help generals train their missiles on targets without relying on a US system that could be shut down as a precaution at any point.
