Founder of 'Russia's Facebook' Says Government Demanded Ukraine Protestors' Data

Here is a translation of the original post[1]. If anyone has any corrections, I would appreciate it; I'm still learning.

>On December 13, 2013, the FSB demanded the personal information of organizers of the Euromaidan group. Our answer was, and remains a categorical refusal: Russia does not have jurisdiction over the Ukrainian users of Vkontakte. Giving the personal information of Ukrainians to the Russian authorities would not just be breaking the law, but a betrayal of the million inhabitants of Ukraine who trusted us.

>As part of this, I had to sacrifice a lot. I sold my stake in Vkontakte, because it could have prevented me from making the correct decisions. However, I do not have any regrets; the protection of our user's personal data is worth this, and much more. Since December 2013, I have not had my property. But I have something more important – a clean conscience and my ideals, which I am ready to defend.
