Apple and Google Comply w/ Russian Demand for LinkedIn App Takedown

[g2s at riseup.net (Razer)]

To keep the the NSA from pwning Russian citizen's metadataz.

OFC that's not how 'slashdolt' and Fortune Magazine see it:

> Russia has forced Apple and Google to remove the LinkedIn mobile app
> from their Russian application markets, the latest chapter in a
> months-long campaign against the professional networking site. From a
> report on Fortune:
>
>> A recently-passed Russian law requires that any company holding data
>> on Russians house that data within Russia. Russia began blocking
>> LinkedIn's website last November under that law, which some critics
>> argue is an indirect form of censorship. The removal of the LinkedIn
>> app from Apples App Store and Google's Play shows the willingness of
>> major internet gatekeepers to comply with individual nations'
>> data-control laws, on both the web and mobile devices.
