It still blows my mind that people are on linkedin. If you are not a recruiter/hiring manager it's only real purpose (that I can see) is to be a boasting board for achievements and a easy to ignore place to receive recruiting emails. Does anyone get any other value out of it?
I didn't know about this crazy new regulatory requirements until now. Quoting from an article [1] describing the new law: > “When collecting personal data, including through information and the internet telecommunications network, the operator is required to provide a record that the systematization, accumulation, storage, updating and retrieval of personal data of citizens of the Russian Federation, is held on datab…

My friend. We use ВКонтакте for everything.

At the end of the day, creating many of these services is trivial. Creating a LinkedIn clone is trivial, and one will pop up in Russia giving some Russian owners profit and creating jobs for Russians. So how it's bad for the Russian economy, or the economy of any country to do this, is beyond me. On the other hand, dictatorships and capitalist democracies love to gather as much information as they can on their citize…
LinkedIn clone already exists for quite a long time. The professionali.ru service even copied the original design when it was launched. Not successful. :) The real alternative - startup MoiKrug.ru ("my circle"), that was launched in mid-2000s - was purchased by Yandex, made irrelevant by lack of clear strategy and finally sold to some other investor.

It's not about the economy, it's about control. Give them control or get out. Eventually the only companies left are those that will acquiesce to Russian demands.
From how I understanding "Russian state philosophy" (if there's such a thing) I'd even intuitively assume they're not necessarily primarily interested in gathering everything-about-everyone but in ensuring no other party (especially private western/multinational corps) gain potentially such an information advantage over them. We've arrived in an age when non-sovereign entities can gain leverage over sovereign entitie…

As a contractor outside of EU/USA I stuggle a lot to handle those regulations for PII(personal identify information). We have no rights to transfer even a single bit of PII out of EU/USA networks. So I just don't understand, why it's such a news after all.
Honestly, if LinkedIn disappeared today worldwide, I wouldn't miss it one second. It's really more of a chore than anything else. When you're looking for a job, or looking to recruit, it's helpful, but they haven't made the case of general everyday use, and I doubt they ever will.
Ditto, it seems most to mostly be stories of: "10 years ago I was a alcoholic leprechaun but today I finally got that job working as a chimney sweep" "Here's a picture of me with a homeless person I spoke to on my way to work today. It turns out they are people too." "Don't you just love our military personnel/democracy/babies? One like to show you love these things. One share to show you don't hate them." "Here's a…

Joins groups on it. I am in a few web dev. groups and we have discussions, people share links, ask questions, etc.
Dev groups on linkedin? A abandoned phpbb forum from 2010 is a better option!
