Russia Requires Apple and Google to Remove LinkedIn from Local App Stores
I&#x27;m from Russia, so I guess I could add some context here. A while ago our parliament created a pack of laws to &quot;protect personal data of russian citizens&quot;. One of them ordered internet services to store all of the user data of russian citizens on servers, that are physically located in Russia. This law is in power since the beginning of 2016, but many big sites like LinkedIn and Facebook just ignored it. State authorities did nothing about it, but finally, in November they blocked LinkedIn in Russia, so now we ought to use some VPN or proxy to access it. And now they want to remove their apps from stores, despite they don&#x27;t work without proxy as well.
