You do realize the irony in your argument, considering its the Russian government which has probably the worst track record in recent times when it comes to a corrupt government abusing its power.

What you are essentially saying is that [1] this is bad but a government having a similar tool is fine.

I never said the government having it is fine. But the fact that it does doesn't mean you shouldn't be concerned about corporations and private people having it. And I certainly did not mention the Russian government.
