No more job searches and cv telematics for the citizens of russia on LinkedIn. The Kremlin has banned the most important professional platform in all over the Country. A decision had already been taken in August by the district court of Moscow. After months of negotiations, it is passed to the action, and the Roskomnadzor, the Russian authority for telecommunications, has ordered the blocking of the site. Making LinkedIn the first social network to be completely obscured in Russia. The problem are the servers. According to a law of July 2014, the personal data of the users should be stored only on the national territory. Rule not respected from LinkedIn. For this, Dmitri Peskov, spokesman for Putin, stressed that this is not censorship. According to him, Roskomnadzor “acts in the strict limit of the law.” However, they arrive the first comments from the company. Sberbank, the first Rus sian bank, has made it clear in a note that the block will complicate the search of the personal: We think that, for a certain number of position, scouting out candidates to increase by 1-3 days, the costs will grow and we may need to use the agencies more often”.
blocks
there Are six million (according to Reuters) the Russian members of the social network, which was acquired by Microsoft for 26.2 billion, 467 million in total. We still do not know what will be the next moves of the company, whether to continue to negotiate because the authorities to make an exception to the rule, or if you adapt to the law. Entry into force in September, is the main cause of the preparation of the block. The americans have repeatedly asked to re-discuss the decision. Last meeting: 11th November, with a new attempt to negotiate with the Roskmnadzor, went up in smoke. What is certain is that it is not the first website to be obscured in the Country. The same fate was touched to Wikipedia — temporarily — because of an article on the consumption of cannabis. In September, the first blocks final related to the pornography: deleted by the browser, Russian YouPorn and Porhub. “The decision to block LinkedIn — said the company — de nies access to the millions of users that we have in Russia and companies which use LinkedIn to increase their business. We continue to want a meeting with Roskomnadzor to discuss the request on the localization of the data”.
in China
A previous, similar occurred in China, where LinkedIn has built a separate site — which runs on the server of national — to meet the needs of the government. The same as the Russian one. The needs that both of justify with the intention of keeping secure the data of its citizens. But in reality, accusing, concealing the search for an easy way to control them. Facebook and Twitter, both of which are active in the Country, are not yet equipped with the server national. While other companies — 1,500 for the authorities have already taken steps to alter their own infrastructure. The decision to block the LinkedIn marks in any case, a precedent, that could change the use of the Network in the Country, as well as the presence of the leading technology companies operating in Russia.
