Russia’s key developer of Runet internet-blocking infrastructure, Rostelecom-controlled RDP Enterprise, plans to buy US- and Israel-made equipment for DPI systems used to filter traffic and enforce online censorship.
This is one of the most disgusting things in money-driven and profit-centric society. Just because you making and selling stuff suitable for 1-2 small legitimate niche, you will bump into the ceiling of niche limits as anyone who could buy your stuff already did so.
And what this means for shareholders and corporations? When it means you need sell Windows on the Moon, this is laughable.
But when it means you need to sell your crap to dictatorship, and you know it will bring suffering to people, there is NO any justifications to doing so. And no, you can’t pretend that you don’t know that your DPI-stuff will be used for enforcing the fucking censorship and to suppress even chance of emergence of any protest there.
