The game Atomic Heart has recently come under scrutiny due to its privacy policy that experts revealed. The policy states that the game collects user data and shares it with the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB). It is the government intelligence agency of Russia.

This is concerning for many players, as the FSB is infamous for its use of surveillance and censorship. It is also a reminder that players should be aware of what kind of their data others are collecting. And what they will use their data for before agreeing to play the game.

Players should make sure to read the privacy policy of any game they are considering downloading. Doing that will have important implications for their privacy and security.

What is the FSB? 

The Federal Security Service (FSB) is the principal security agency of the Russian Federation. It is also the main successor of the USSR’s Committee of State Security (KGB). The FSB replaced the Committee of State Security in December 1991. That is less than a month after the August coup (August 1991). It removed Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev from power.

Authorities dissolved the KGB, but in reality, they merely transferred its functions to the new organization. The FSB, whose headquarters are in central Moscow, has jurisdiction throughout Russia. While its internal security force is responsible for physical security in government facilities.

What Does FSB Do? 

FSB maintains a central registry of citizens who have access to state secrets. Or who constitute a potential threat to state security. The FSB oversees authorized access to state secrets, though not with the same thoroughness that of the KGB. Since its creation, it has leaked many state secrets and people have accused it of using its resources for political purposes.

The officials established the FSB in August 1991 to protect Russian Federation institutions against terrorism, major crimes, and treason. It also investigates economic crimes; supervises intelligence gathering for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Defence, and other agencies; and protects state secrets.

A director whose official rank is that of a general in the armed forces oversees the workings of the FSB. Generally, the president appoints the director and they are responsible to them. Most elements of the FSB wear uniforms—only the foreign operations directorate, the information security directorate, and certain other elements operate in civilian clothes.
