Russia is preventing people from accessing Linkedin because it’s alleged the firm breaches its data storage law.
That law requires Linkedin to store data in servers based in Russia, and it has implications for other social media sites like Facebook.
According to Reuters, Linkedin has as many as six million members in Russia.
The law against data being stored abroad was approved by the Kremlin last year, and it’s likely the site will start disappearing completely in the country within 24 hours.
