"Linkedin refused to follow the law and got what was coming. "
Then why does the law only apply to LinkedIn as opposed to the other 100K apps and services that store data in the US as opposed to Russia?
I don't doubt the impetus of this law in a certain light, at the same time, there's some political games being played I think.
- andreyz4k 10y agoThere is a famous saying "Strict laws in Russia are compensated by optionality of their application".
- dntlkatmyname 10y agoNobody really knows. Presumably they just wanted to test it out on some big enough company (even though LinkedIn is anything but big in Russia). What's more weird is that LinkedIn just outright refused to comply, when all they had to do was issue an announcement and maybe rent some servers in Russia (don't even have to use them).
