You could interpret it differently too like here the USA isnt considered a "save country" for IT and data storage so in the company i work at we arent allowed to use dropbox, skype or google drive etc. of course things like Google Analytics are everywhere so at the end of the day its a moot point
Yes Russia hacked the election and tricked the electoral college to vote Trump. Makes tons of sense.
People who have "joined" LinkedIn have given that entity permission to access their contacts. Then the entity sends emails in the guise of invitations to those contacts as though they had been sent by the person who has "joined" LinkedIn. The same applies to Tagged, ShoppyBag and PCH, to mention a few (from personal experience).
"LinkedIn, which has several million users in Russia" - makes me wonder how many were duped into joining when they received those invitations from their friends.
Good for Russia! I think it's a great policy. Keeping information inside the country is a good way to add a layer of protect to its citizens. It's also good because it forces linked in to put some money into a large country it probably gets a large profit from. LinkedIn is just a giant ad machine anyways. Who cares. They can afford to put a rack of servers in Moscow.
Also, if you think Russia won Trump the election.....you are clearly just a delusional "I'm with her" that is upset that she lost. Get over it. The country is tired of all these ridiculous liberal policies that have done nothing but hurt the country. The Hilary ship has sank, swim up to the surface and move on. There is nothing to be done. It's over. What is to be learned here is about 50% of the country is tired of the last 8 years and wants help. I'm sure the good people of Detroit know how much the current administration has helped them....zero. It's easy to forget about places like Detroit when you are sipping on your Starbucks and buying a new Apple Watch. That place is bleeding and nobody has done jack. I bet in the next 4 years big improvements will be seen there.
Our country has big problems. Putting everyone on section 8, free health care, and food stamps is not the answer. Jobs is the answer. Brining back work. So far the Democrats haven't done that. Let's see what happens in the next 4 years. Then you can complain if Trump does nothing. Maybe some of you can go to your "safe spaces" and wait it out.

The EU requires that personal data held by companies remains within the EU unless the individual concerned gives explicit permission.
That really isn't very much different to Russia's stance, except allowing the individual to decide.

Yes. Falsely. Coz if it were true, they would show the evidence. Except crying 'buuu russians hacked us', I have seen none. Actually, no one has seen any evidence to prove it. And of course, the problem is the 'hack', but not the contents of those emails.. Talking about brainwash
I'm still waiting to see Iraqi chemical weapons. I guess I will have to wait a bit more
I wish our government would ban LinkedIn. I signed up when they first started and dumped my account a year later. Here we are something like 12 years after I dumped my account and I'm still getting invites. thank got for the junk folder.
Soon Tim will be Blaiming the Russians for hacking his amazing product pipeline .
Good on the Russians. And at least Putin has some balls

This attitude is exactly the problem, there is no government anyplace on this planet that really wants to better the entire country they rule, sure they want you to think that so you will willingly (without bloodshed) give away your money and freedoms, but they really don't think that way at all. Normal, non-elected (where there are elections), citizens are just a way to power and wealth that are to be lied to and promised to, but never really deliver promises on anything except the minimum required to fool the populous.
Just wondering - if a system like that makes a mistake once then they're never to be trusted again. Is that it? I've got a few things lined up if you say yes, is all.Yes. Falsely. Coz if it were true, they would show the evidence. Except crying 'buuu russians hacked us', I have seen none. Actually, no one has seen any evidence to prove it.

Once? You're joking, right? A 'mistake'? Over 500 000 killed from 2003 till 2011 (just in Iraq!), and you call it a 'mistake'?
So please, what have you lined up to compare to the 'mistake' I've mentioned above?
Sure. Saying stuff without providing any evidence that they did it. Isn't that why Obama signed a last minute act to protect him and others without needing to provide facts?
Linkedin is like a bad cough that never goes away I still receive invitation emails from old coworkers even if I already unsubscribed from their mailing lists long time ago.

It is the marriage between the orwellian goverment and Silicon Valley that scares every awake person.

Putin makes good and well planned moves and he is winning. He is way smarter than his counterparts in the "free world".
No problem here, they have to obide by the laws of the land regardless of who they are, and if you don't then bye bye..
As for all the hacking BS, don't be fooled for one single second to think Putin solely deserves any anger, because the entire Western democracy hacks the snot out of each other on a daily basis. So you have be shameful of your own country to also hold Russia in shame over it.

I didn't know that. I don't even work and was wondering why my friend sent me an email asking me to join. I didn't want to offend her and I didn't give a crap so I joined. I regret it, knowing what I know about LinkedIn now. Now...how do I extricate myself from them? I never use the service.
So you would be Happy with all your personal data to be stored on Russian servers ?
Thing is, the US keeps proving that they are no less suspect. The Alphabet spaghetti LEOs in the US seem to regularly flout US laws, use secret courts to obtain orders that no one can talk about, etc etc etc. To the rest of the world, the US is no more trustworthy than Russia or China.
The truth is, no country is above suspicion anymore, so they easy thing to do is keep data local, that way some accountability and protection may be possible.

You can't.
Sure you can "close" it, but all that does is make it inaccessible, they still keep it running for their own purposes.
US social media has the firm belief that they are entitled to your information. This is why there are those little "badges" on the bottom of web sites, they use these to track everything you do and build up a profile of you. Oh and you do NOT have to be a member, they create a fake account on their services and build the profile from there.
They know pretty much everything about you, age, gender, race, income, religion, sexual orientation, who your friends are, where you live, where you shop, if you are being unfaithful, they know what you look like and everyone you know looks like, everything.
AND they reserve the right to buy and sell that information to others for profit.
They are not accountable to you, you can not vote them out, you can not vote with your wallet and go elsewhere. YOU have no rights.
That is when ordinary citizens don't believe government agencies that had stated they have found evidence, but has not yet made it available to the general public.
I for one, had to believe the CIA this time.
It's a wonder "they" don't die of sheer boredom.
So much of what you state is on public records that's easily Googled. Buy or sell a house or register a vehicle or vote or just have a social security number all creates an uncanny trail on its own that is publicly accessible.
Then there is the US Census. I was harassed by them about 18 years ago. I gave the bare minimum info I could.
The marketing data doesn't bother me because my tastes change and I change what I buy all the time. I think the only brand loyalty I have is for laundry detergent and strawberry jam.
Yeah, we're screwed. Thanks for replying.
It was a mistake to underestimate the gullibility and blissful ignorance of the average Trump voter.
