[March 07, 2017]
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's
communications watchdog said on Tuesday it had received
a letter from LinkedIn Corp., a social networking
website it had blocked, in which the company said it was
not willing to take steps to comply with a Russian data
storage law. |

"The
company has refused to carry out the requirement to move its
storage sites holding the personal data of Russian citizens onto
the territory of the Russian Federation, thus confirming its
lack of interest in working on the Russian market," regulator
Roskomnadzor said in a statement.
LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft.
