  • Dispute stems from Russian law requiring foreign and domestic companies to store Russian user data within the country.
  • LinkedIn: "The Russian court’s decision has the potential to deny access to LinkedIn for the millions of members we have in Russia and the companies that use LinkedIn to grow their businesses. We remain interested in a meeting with Roskomnadzor to discuss their data localization request."
  • Regarding other companies to possibly become impacted by the requirements, the Roskomnadzor agency notes it won't name any entities in particular but offers that other "major internet giants are in the process of complying with the law."
  • LinkedIn (LNKD -0.3%) is considered to have over 6M registered users within the country. Access to the platform there is set to shut down in coming days.
