> I’m pretty sure Twitter may be seen by some Russian politicians as “detrimental to Russia’s sovereignty”

For what it’s worth, so do I — and I’m not saying that to support them, I don’t like what I see of the behaviour of the Russian government.

For about the last decade, I’ve been of the opinion that the free an open border that is the internet is incompatible with current attitudes towards sovereign control of what happens within a particular national border. Sovereignty includes the ability to limit things, including things other people (like me) don’t want limited. Copyright, “immoral” substances or sexual acts, defamation, revealing state secrets.

I have a question: if a Spanish person living in Spain publishes a South African state secret, has an offence been committed?
