Data Retention Law: What is the new reality?

Question

Freelance

Hello!
Write who knows what.
1) Many freelancers have not only a banal full name in their profile, but also a phone number, the name of the completed educational institution, work experience in organizations and other personal (it is not clear how to interpret them) data. It turns out that now we can close any exchange just at the click of a finger? I do not think that upwork, elance, freelancer.com have placed their servers in Russia and will generally do so.
2) And yes, I know what a proxy is. But the law is so crazy it makes me paranoid. Will a proxy help us or is there a serious blocking planned, up to creating a mega firewall for all proxies? Are there any liability for users for unauthorized access to blocked resources?
3) Has skrill located its servers in Russia to comply with the law on the storage of personal data? Because if not, then no proxy will help here - our banks will simply close the shop for withdrawing funds from it.
4) What about payoneer and cards from other foreign banks whose servers are not here? It is clear that they can close the sites. Will they be able to ban our banks from servicing their cards? Or am I stupid and it was enough that the mastercard moved / placed servers here and they will not be touched?
5) What about social networks, online stores: who has posted and who has not yet?
6) Which well-known foreign organizations have declared that they will not place anything in Russia at all? That is, who are these candidates for blocking?
7)Well, I can’t get around such a question, because. Too lazy to look - according to the law, the blocking of sites will occur by url or IP addresses?

Answer 2

The state can do anything. Introduce exit visas, force SUVs to be registered at the military registration and enlistment office, ban business activities, put you in jail for not being registered anywhere at work, drive you to camps for knowing English and having been abroad. Anything is possible, but that doesn't mean you have to go and drown yourself right now, does it? Do what you must and be what will be. But if possible, leave Russia.

Answer 3

Uh ... The question is essentially a stuffing;)
No, a foreign site should not adapt to the fears of other fears - neither the Russian Federation, nor Zimbabwe, nor any else. The fact that they keep personal data at home, not observing the laws of the Russian Federation, is not important. You, as a person, conveyed them yourself. By the way, no one obliges you not to transfer it to everyone in a row - this is your data and your right.
It's the same with cards and everything else. Banks, exchanges, etc. do not break laws. In some cases, you do this - if for some reason you are obliged to report that you have an account in Cyprus (conditionally. Suddenly you are a Deputy of the State Duma).
As usual, all Laws, Instructions, Regulations, etc. have some ambiguous wording. And according to this turbidity, they usually do the work. Protecting potential victims, the state (I'm talking about the Russian Federation now) may well exclude the possibility of access to certain services. This is on the one hand. On the other hand, protecting their own interests as well (well, which of the freelance gentlemen fully declares income and pays taxes? And everyone wants to arrange a child in a kindergarten ...)
