If you use Cyrillic in your journal then SUP, a RF-based company that recently came into agreement with SixApart, may receive access to your journal and your private information

Once this happens, no one can guarantee any kind of privacy for your personal info. Your data may be stolen and abused or sold to whoever wants it. This happens to people who use Cyrillic OR write in Russian OR use a Russian version of a browser.

UPDATE: my main worry is not the KGB (as most people thought for some obscure reason) but dubious uses of the clients' private info (including a credit card number, by the way, if you paid for your account with one) by anyone who would care to obtain it. Right now the access to people's info is governed by the privacy laws of SixApart jurisdiction. There is no such thing as privacy in Russia, no privacy laws enforcement, and anyone can have your info by bribing or harassing SUP employees (and the SUP employees may also want to have some fun at the expense of the clients).

And, last but not least, I don't like the idea of buying a service from a company whose CEO publicly calls its clients cunts ("мудаки") as Nosik did very recently in a LJ posting during the discussion of this issue. Yes, I distrust Nosik and Russian "businesspeople" in general much more than US government or security agencies of any kind.
