My Comment: Yup .... I have had first hand experience of this. I live in Montreal, and this is where I post my tweets and blog posts. When I go to my little chalet up north ..... I post from there. I also travel a lot .... but that does not stop me from keeping this blog alive with posts, and I keep on tweeting . I was in Moscow at the beginning of this year to visit friends and family for Russian Orthodox Christmas. I also have a condo there where I can keep on tweeting and posting. No surprise .... I get an email from a regular reader teasing me that I must be working for the FSB since my tweets were geolocated a few blocks away from the old KGB Lubyanka building and from the Kremlin.
Sighhhh ....
I will admit that I was surprised. But such is the world that we live in.
And no .... I am not on the payroll of the FSB or any other Russian government and/or non-government organization or individual
