A Russian court in Moscow upheld a decision to block LinkedIn across Russia after the company failed to abide by a law mandating that all foreign companies store data on Russian users inside the country’s borders. Russian communications regulator Roskomnadzor had filed a complaint against LinkedIn in mid-October at a court in the Tagansky district. The agency claimed that the recent LinkedIn breach exposed the details of Russian citizens, and asked the court to force the company to store user data inside the borders. The Moscow court agreed and issued a block order for LinkedIn, which would remain valid until the site moved data of approximately six million Russian users to servers inside Russia’s borders.
