But I do not regret anything - protection of personal data of people is worth it, and much more. Since December 2013 I have owned, but I still had something more important - clean conscience and ideals that I am ready to defend. », - Durov said on his page network (document p. 1 , p. 2 ).

In my opinion, well done. However, suppose the FSB were other methods of obtaining such information :)
