Professional social network LinkedIn in the very near future may become inaccessible to the people of our country. You know what the organization intends to close access to it because of alleged violations of the law on personal data.
According to the information received, Roskomnadzor (Yes, he is) prepares to block LinkedIn in Russia’s failure to act on the localization data. In other words, LinkedIn does not listen to anyone and did not carry information about its users from Russia on servers located within the country’s borders. Also there are reports of illegal dissemination of information about the users in other segments of the Web.
The situation is serious enough as it is already recorded appeal Roskomnadzor in the court, and in August of the current year, and the court, of course, claim. LinkedIn’s legal Department immediately responded by filing an appeal and retrial is scheduled for November 10. Well, since we’re in Russia, you have to guess in whose favor the decision will be made. According to official statistics, LinkedIn has about 3 million users from Russia, and that so many people will have to meet with anonymizers and other similar services, if the access to the social network will still be closed.
