Russia is demanding Twitter to store the personal data of
Russians locally. A controversial data
localization law requiring Internet services to store the personal data of
Russian citizens on servers located in Russia went into effect at the beginning
of September. Although Russia’s Internet Regulator, Roskomnadzor, said Twitter
was not subject to the law back in July, Radio
Free Europe reports a change in Twitter’s user agreement prompted the
announcement. Russia can block and fine sites that do not comply, and
Roskomnadzor will apparently “wait
patiently” for news of compliance.
