In Russia to 2023 will still be a Unified Federal information register of the population. The state Duma adopted in the third final reading the law on the establishment of a unified database of information about living in the country for Russian citizens and foreigners. The Duma opposition has scared the “information camp” and to vote “for” refused.
By 2023, the population register will appear, and by 2026 — will be fully operational. The state, represented by different authorities and agencies and now collects about living on its territory (and the Russians, and aliens) a variety of information and stores them. Now it is proposed to combine in one place not the information collected by the registry offices, Ministry of interior, authorities of different levels, the Pension Fund and the tax, and the keys to them in 12 departmental databases. We are talking about 30 kinds of information — they are listed in the law.
everyone living in Russia in the register will appear, if I may say so, a personal cell with passport data (including the “floor, and in the case it changes the other sex”). The data center case will be in Nizhny Novgorod region.
As reported in April at meeting of the profile of the Duma Committee on information policy, information technologies and communications Deputy head of tax Agency Vitaly Kolesnikov, “bringing all (the departmental. — “MK”) information systems to a common denominator” will help to establish family ties of each person, and based on the data of various departments to calculate the income of his family, and the state will finally be able to provide social assistance for a valid need….
it is Curious that until the spring of this year, any special concerns of the masses of Russians, this idea of the government did not cause. But during an outbreak, and in connection with active use of different kinds of digital forms of control over the observance of the restrictions imposed on social networks has become a popular discussion on the topic of “digital slavery”. The bill, which “suddenly” pulled out from under the cloth, came to be regarded by many not only as in this context.
Speaking in explanation of vote, the representatives of the factions KPRF, LDPR and “just Russia” said that the vote “for” cannot. Nikolai Kolomeitsev (CPRF) said that in the UK in 2006, they say, adopted a similar law, and although the “technologically and on many issues they are more powerful than us,” after 4 years the register has been destroyed — because found that to ensure its safety impossible. Oleg Nilov (“CP”) suggested not to hurry with adoption of the law. He and representatives of other factions were reminded of article 24 of the Constitution, which prohibits the collection, storage, use and dissemination of information about a person’s private life without his consent.
But the Vice-speaker Igor Lebedev (LDPR) said that “to guarantee 100% the security of any inform��software system no one can”, and drew attention to the fact that the current law “On personal data…” guarantees the right of citizens not only to clarify information about themselves, to demand their blocking and destruction. And in the Single register of Russian will only be able to see the content of your page and request “clarification” of information. To demand their destruction, he can not.
by the Way, the text of the law stipulates the special rights of some and intelligence agencies like the FSO, the FSB and SVR: at their request information about certain categories of citizens (protected persons, for example) can be allocated in a special, closed part. A special service will be able even to destroy data on citizens — for example, if we are talking about scouts or anyone who participates in the witness protection program.
Mr. Egorov disagreed with the fact that Russia in all parameters is still lagging behind technologically from its words followed that just as the digitization of the state we’re quite advanced. Created a system test for the security of FSB and other structures, he said. There is no contradiction to the law “On personal data” government lawyers have not found — the more so, said the head of FTS, personal data of the citizen like “biometric, medical, information religion” in the register will not. The act of making them really is not provided.
the head of the Committee on information policy Alexander Khinshtein (United Russia) from the rostrum of the state Duma said that the criminal and administrative liability for violation of rules of storage of personal information and its loss will be significantly tightened. Later in the conversation with “MK” he said counterarguments against the adoption of the law look like, “as if someone is strongly opposed to plucked from the branches apples someone decided to put in one basket”.
