To date, more than 590 million. users all over the world are registered on the Linkedin network. Of particular importance, the Linkedin page is for people in the Internet programming field and other professions - for those who seek to find a decent job, including outside the country. In Russia, Linkedin quickly gained recognition and became an indispensable attribute for a modern professional. However, in 2016, Roskomnadzor issued a decree banning access to the site. Today, Linkedin is not available in Russia, and for millions of people this is a professional tragedy.
Reason for Linkedin blocking in Russia
Blocking certain social networks alwayscauses a lot of controversy and disagreement. Some people think that nothing “nightmare” happened, because this is just a social network and you can use any other resource. Others lose far more than a way to chat with their friends. Given the scale of the LinkedIn network, the reason for blocking it should be really significant.
As the head of Roskomnadzor Alexander Zharov explained,Linkedin blocking caused by a fixed data leak. He did not explain what data was illegally “published,” nor did he give an answer to the question of who suffered from this leak. Along with this, Alexander added that it is possible to use domestic networks.
