If i write a mail on an Android phone stating that i'll fly to London to agitate people to vote yes on the Brexit and to tell everyone that Cameron is the worst politician the UK has ever seen, that mail is probably read by the NSA. Reaction ? Nevermind- dismiss.

If i write a mail on a Yota phone with a similiar message ("I'll fly to Moscow to tell everyone that Russia has to leave Ukranian soil including Crimea and that Putin is the worst politician Russia has ever seen") i'll probably have a problem the next time i want to enter Russia. Or, even worse, leaving it.

And that's why i currently wouldn't want a Russian phone.

Oh, come on
Face it, nobody gives a damn about you in Russia, plus we have no such resources.

And all that fuss about the NSA that probably doesn't care about any of us either, amirite ? Btw- Russian bloggers that objected the Russian annexation of Crimea have been prosecuted. It's not that far fetched to worry a little about freedom of speech in your country, is it ?

Quite funny that we're speculating about Russian backdoors and spying because we watched too many US movies in the 80s, while we know for a fact that the US have actually forced that stuff all over their ubiquitous OSes and clouds, and gag the vendors from telling us about it.

I would not worry about that too much. On the other hand, if I write an email on an Android phone mentioning Isis, that email will trigger some automatic switch at NSA and I will get on a black list without any human even knowing or caring about that. Then at least I won't have to worry about having troubles visiting Russia: my own government will take care of my next passport renewal application and I won't visit anything.

And don't tell me this is too farfetched. There have already been cases of people having had their online payments rejected because they live on Isis Close.

It is maybe because I have lived on the wrong side of the curtain that I can see warning signals that those who have never experienced a totality are still blind to. It is why I maintain that until they start dropping bombs on your head, there is nothing you have to fear from the other side's government. It is your own government you should be wary of. I hope I am wrong but as of yet, I am still to be convinced.

Android doesn't have anything to do with it. SMS and E-mail word filters are based on data interception, not intrusive device snooping. The latter occurs when suspicion has already been raised.

I just love that! You're not alone in UK when considered banning-by-the-name-of-your-residence...
In finland near where I live is a community called Pornainen and the community pages frequently get blocked/censored because of their name...
