Russian court fines Coinbase for refusing to localize Russian users' data
Coinbase, a crypto exchange, has been fined 1 million rubles ($11,000) by a Russian court for failing to localize Russian users' data within the country. This is part of a trend of Russia imposing fines on international technology companies for various violations, seen by some as an attempt to gain more control over the internet. Other companies that have been fined for similar reasons include Google, Apple, Spotify, WhatsApp, Airbnb, Zoom, and Telegram. Russia's internet and communications regulator, Roskomnadzor, had ordered foreign internet companies to localize Russian users' data by July 1, and around 600 companies had complied by that deadline.
