Russia's state communications watchdog said Thursday it had ordered internet providers to block the LinkedIn professional networking site after a court ruled it was breaching a law on storing users' data.
Microsoft said on Monday it was buying the professional social network LinkedIn for $26.2bn in cash, a move that helps refocus the US tech giant around cloud computing and services.
Professional network LinkedIn has announced that it has welcomed Dr Hessa al-Jaber, former Minister of Communication and Information Technology in Qatar, onto the platform as an influencer.
