Alexander Zharov
Successes in Brief:
Alexander Zharov emphasized the growing need of society for the safe circulation of data on the Internet: compared with last year, the number of complaints about violations of the rights of personal data subjects has doubled.
As you know, after the entry into force of Federal Law No. 398-FZ, the powers of Roskomnadzor were significantly expanded. Alexander Zharov with colleagues received the right to block sites out of court.
An expanded meeting of Roskomnadzor
The decision to add resources to the blacklist is made by the Federal Drug Control Service, Rospotrebnadzor or Roskomnadzor. By law, an Internet resource is subject to blocking if prohibited information is not deleted within three days from the date of notification.
“More people watching the Internet” got more work after the adoption of Law No. 97-FZ. It provides for the creation of a registry of sites and pages of sites on the network that host publicly available information and access to which during the day is more than 3,000 Internet users. The law introduces the concept of a “blogger” as a person publishing information on such a popular site. A blogger is responsible for his words and is required to reveal his identity.
Bloggers are forbidden to swear obscenely (the law was adopted on time, before the devaluation and the economic crisis in Russia), to disseminate materials promoting pornography, a cult of violence and cruelty.
Now Roskomnadzor maintains the Register of organizers of information distribution on the Internet and the Register of bloggers.
