Curious, how this is different from what Google was going for years? 
Even if it is not official, it is pretty much obvious that Google can do 
what this system suggests it can. Similar systems have existed in Russia 
for years too.

The Google scheme is somewhat different, because the victim sites are 
offered a bait in form of revenue or various pretty statistics in return 
of Google having all their content. Guess webmasters in Russia would not 
want KGB, err.. Roskomnadzor do the same, at least they will never admin 
to have agreed to it.

But yes, perhaps we start to see the first public signs of such systems 
being sold to Governments.
