Russia’s communications regulator Roskomnadzor on Friday announced an administrative lawsuit against foreign tech companies such as Ggogle, alleging they violated personal data retention laws. Russia’s data retention laws require that the personal data of users in the country be stored on domestic servers. Roskomnadzor, which fined Google 3 million rubles last year on the same grounds, said on Friday it had filed a new lawsuit against Google for repeatedly failing to comply with Russian law. This time Google could face a fine of 6 to 18 million rubles. Airbnb, Pinterest, Likeme, Twitch, Apple and the United Parcel Service face the same lawsuit for alleged first-time violations and could be fined between 1 million and 6 million rubles.
