NYT: Quiet War Between Russian Technocrats and FSB Over Surveillance Methods

A Russian official involved in digital infrastructure told NYT of a 'quiet war' between technocratic agencies like the Ministry of Digital Development and the FSB over methods of monitoring and controlling society. The claim is based on a single anonymous source, so the extent and impact of the conflict remain uncertain. This matters because it signals potential internal friction within the Russian state over surveillance policy, which could affect future digital governance and security measures.
