That law requires Linkedin to store data in servers based in Russia, and it has implications for other social media sites like Facebook.

According to Reuters, Linkedin has as many as six million members in Russia.

The law against data being stored abroad was approved by the Kremlin last year, and it’s likely the site will start disappearing completely in the country within 24 hours.

Linkedin is already receiving complaints from Russian members and it believes that the block will hurt the Russian business sector.

Some believe that the data storage law is effectively a way of censoring the internet and preventing the sharing of ideas abroad.
