It is also possible he is an idiot. There are few valuable sentences that begin with "it is possible..."
To be fair, he probably never once in his wildest dreams ever thought he would be head of the FBI. So he probably didn't think he needed the extra security, because what idiot would put him in charge of the world's largest spy network.

Uh yeah, the locale in the link is specifically an Indian locale. If you find it it disorienting you can change en_in to en_us: https://landing.google.com/intl/en_us/advancedprotection/
The confusing thing is that googling "google advanced protection program" takes you to the en_in locale, even if you are in the US. An American has no clue what a crore is, so it is just an SEO failure on Google's part, which is funny. I didn't know there was an en_us equivalent to the page when I googled the topic.
Really?
It's ten million of something, or (currently) about $11,000 US dollars in money.
You might also see "lakh" which is one hundred thousand of something, or about $1100 when it's used to describe money.
Now you know.

I'd like to chime in and say that that Kash Patel, while completely unprofessional and incompetent, is way less of a weirdo than the rest of the administration. His scandals are all about shirking job responsibilities to party and sightsee. That's not great from the FBI director but its way more normal than the rest of them.
How can you way that with a straight face when this book exists. https://www.amazon.com/Plot-Against-King-Kash-Patel/dp/19555...

Surely we are currently clean on OPSEC. There couldn't be any precedent for government officials using private email servers for confidential information!
obligatory - that first famous private server was done because someone wanted a blackberry like Obama had, and was told no by NSA. Man that BB keyboard was good.

Of course that pales in comparison with the practices of the GWB White House:

It's also possible that he maintained security by not putting anything worth hacking on gmail.
Security in depth. Even if you think you don't have anything particularly valuable in there, you still protect it as if you did.

> for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzaoHPWfkbE That was electoral event with mandatory presence. This is nothing like Stalin's rallies where people themselves organized and attended, e.g.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eC6bzBTmmhU > new unified history textbook.

Nobody knowing anything about Russia would make such a gross mistake like you've just made. It is like you'd be discussing physics problems while not knowing Newton's laws.

"Television is the most popular medium in Russia, with 74% of the population watching national television channels routinely "
As it happens you just don't know what you're talking about. Most of the other things you said about Russia is similarly just incorrect. It looked strange to me how and what you've been arguing about, and in good faith i thought that we're discussing while each being well informed, and may be you just have different opinion/view and may be a bit less understanding and information than me. Well, it happens you just don't know basically anything about Russia. In such a case instead of arguing, you should just look for and consume the information, and not waste other people's time with uninformed arguments.

The FBI is not a spy network.
Also, they do head up the main counterintelligence effort of the US.
How the mighty have fallen.
