MOSCOW, Apr 19 (PRIME) -- Microblog network Twitter will localize bases with Russians’ personal data until the middle of 2018, the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media said on Wednesday on its Web site.
“We’re in the process of understanding what information on Russian citizens and organizations involved in commercial relations of Twitter in Russia, can be singled out for storing in the Russian Federation,” the service said citing Twitter’s letter.
“We assume that we’ll be able to hand over these commercial data to Russia until the middle of 2018 and notify you of this by that time.”
The law on personal data, in force since September 1, 2015, obliges companies to store personal data of Russians in the country. Upon a court decision, Web sites of perpetrators are added to a special register and blocked upon a refusal to mend breaches.
