Roskomnadzor going to achieve blocking
social network LinkedIn. The department argued that the company does not store
the personal data of Russians in Russia, as provided by law.
As it turned out October 25, 2016, in
August of this year, the Tagansky court agreed with the Roskomnadzor that
LinkedIn should be blocked. Now the sides are preparing for the appeal. As
stated in the RNS Roskomnadzor, a meeting of the Moscow City Court will be held
on 11 November.
Because LinkedIn has no official representation in Russia,
Roskomnadzor asked for access to the network restriction in court.
