Russians Deny Any Intentions To Ban Gmail or Skype In The Country

Russian security services have completely denied on Saturday any kind of news which indicates that the government has any intentions of banning services like Skype and Gmail in the country. The suspicion was raised after one of the elite officials of the government stated that these kinds of services are posing a very serious kind of mischievous security risk globally. It was the information and special communications director of the Federal Security Service (FSB) who spoke while in a cabinet meeting on Friday and claimed that such kind of services are growing "increasingly concerned" as with their foreign-made encryption technology.

The Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, is himself a very big technology loving leader and often seen with an iPad in his hand. According to an FSB spokesman, who gave the official statement this Saturday that the agency is not at all even considering to ban these popular services. He in fact said its quit the opposite: "Quite the contrary -- the development of advanced technology is a natural process that should be welcomed," the security service spokesman told Russian news agencies.

Just as another spokesman for former FSB, chief Putin, implied that this suggestion to ban such services is quite "well-reasoned" and shall be debated further more.
