If you're posting on LJ, they *must* keep records for the Russian government

Under a new law, any large Russian blogging platform must keep records in Russia of everything published for the last six months. I would assume that this includes deleted posts or comments.

LiveJournal is definitely large enough to be covered by this, and I suspect it was written specifically with LJ in mind.

The law also bans bloggers from being anonymous; I don't know where that leaves people who haven't given LJ wallet names, traceable email addresses, etc.

If you aren't in or planning to visit Russia, this probably won't make much difference to you; I assume that the NSA, the British government, and so on can already get their hands on most of this if they want it.
