Russia Requires Apple and Google to Remove LinkedIn from Local App Stores

My understanding is that China requires that data for Chinese citizens is only stored in China (you can maybe export aggregate, anonymous data).

Russia on the other hand requires that data for Russian citizens be stored in Russia. I don't believe they prevent export.

I've heard of large companies complying by simply uploading a tarball to a Russian server periodically.

So does South Korea. At least based on my experience in gaming industry. They also required encrypting all private data.
