Now, the talk is that this is an authoritarian-style clamp-down on social media. Maybe it's just me, but Linkedin is the last social media site where I expect to see activist-style activity. It seems to me that Russia is trying to force sites to have a physical presence in Russia for revenue purposes and is disguising this under the umbrella of protecting its citizen's data.

Russia's communications regulator ordered public access to LinkedIn's website to be blocked on Thursday to comply with a court ruling that found the social networking firm guilty of violating a data storage law...
Russian law requires websites that store the personal data of Russian citizens to do so on Russian servers, something communications regulator Roskomnadzor said LinkedIn had not done.
That law was approved by Putin in 2014 and came into force in September last year.
