GLOBAL VOICES - Apr 25 - Badoo will soon be added to Russia's federal list of "information disseminators." This means that Badoo will be required to keep servers in Russia, where all Russian users' data will be stored, so that the Federal Security Service and local law enforcement can have easier access to user data and communications logs. If the company refuses to comply, they risk being added to Russia's Internet blacklist and banned nationwide. Other sites on the list, which is 73 strong, include email services Mail.ru and Yandex and social networks Moi Mir and Vkontakte.
