Lots of people working remotely. In Russia foreign companies that won't share keys with government are banned so domestic market has room for insecure apps.


It's owned by a domestic company, though. Not sure if you meant "In Russia companies that won't share keys with government are banned".

Tough situation. More power to companies that keep fighting the good fight.
