Russia has fined Facebook with 3,000 rubles, roughly $47, for not complying with the country’s controversial Data Localization law. The fine is the minimum that Russian courts can impose on companies for violating Article 19.7 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation, i.e., failure to provide information. Russia is not the first country to enforce such law on foreign tech companies. Iran also imposed new regulations on all foreign messaging and social media apps to move ‘data and activity’ associated with Iranian citizens onto servers in Iran within one year.
