Russian president Vladimir Putin has signed a new law requiring internet companies to retain the personal data of their Russian customers, or face being blocked from access in the country.

See: Putin signs data retention law (ZDnet, link)

Russia is in good company and as we say in the UK "people in glass houses should not throw stones" - see coverage on the Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act (DRIP or DRIPA).

Our work is only possible with your support.
