Why iPhones will be banned from January 1st. “IPhone and iPad Owners Don’t Worry” – Mobile Research Group Analyst
Owners of already purchased smartphones and tablets from Apple should not be afraid of restrictions on the operation of devices from January 1, 2015, Eldar Murtazin, a leading analyst at Mobile Research Group, is sure. In his opinion, difficulties may arise for those who buy devices later than this period, Primorskaya Gazeta reports.
“It is unlikely that all iPhones will turn off and stop working in an instant, this is impossible - all devices will work,” Eldar Murtazin told Primorskaya Gazeta. - The issue of new devices, for the activation of which it is necessary to enter personal data - it remains open.
- Here you have an Apple phone, you have an account iCloud entry, says the activist. – This is your personal data that is stored in the Apple data center. Under the new law, you can no longer use your iPhone from January 1, because Apple cannot provide its services in Russia, as it stores its personal Russian data in California. Solving such issues requires time and preparation on the part of companies.
Eldar Murtazin agrees with the opinion that in any case, no company will have time to transfer data to the countries by the appointed time. Thus, the Russians will either have to abandon the products of companies, or find compromises.
- I think the second way is more likely, since everyone is interested in resolving the issue, - said the source of Primorskaya Gazeta.
According to the expert, a clear transitional period is needed, during which companies will bring their activities in line with the requirements of the law of the Russian Federation.
– A striking example is the Blackberry company, which for a long time refused to place servers on the territory of Russia,” said Eldar Murtazin. - As soon as the FSB banned the import of Blackberry smartphones into Russia, the conflict was settled - the company agreed to transfer its servers. The manufacturer was given a transitional period. In the end, everyone achieved their goals. I think that in our case, we need a kind of roadmap with certain transition periods, so that each company knows what it has certain time to adjust your working conditions.
Ordinary users of products should not worry, the expert is sure.
“In any case, a solution will be found, since both the authorities and business are interested in this,” Eldar Murtazin summed up.

September 23, 2017, 04:33 PMIn other words, the user's data is not his personal? I use apple products and have the right to decide where this information is stored. I do not want information about me to be stored on the territory of the Russian Federation. Another "one drop" in favor of choosing a more developed society

September 23, 2017, 04:33 PMOf course, I understand that sanctions should be imposed against the United States, then return the money to all iPhone users, how to sell it like that Russia doesn’t think about it, but it’s easiest to ban it, create a good quality phone!

September 23, 2017, 04:33 PMAre you people stupid? If you still want to use your iphone or iPad, just log out of iCloud on 12/25/2014, so what if you can’t download programs or games, then you will have an apple product with a working cellular network in your hands. You will still be able to call from it, write SMS, send mms, correspond in Social. Networks, well, climb the sites!

September 23, 2017, 04:33 PMOf course, I understand the irritation of many, but: Alexander, do you like that Apple is watching you? And all your movements, photos and calls are tapped and viewed by the Americans? Do not forget that they have long confirmed this fact. Andrey, I honestly don’t know how it will look like disabling the service on the phone (I don’t use iPhones), but I’m afraid that this is a useless step. Michael, Normal phone? Have you ever compared Apple products with other manufacturers? Like Sony or Nokia? For the money that apple products are sold in Russia, you can buy a phone 6 times more powerful and better than these iPhones. If you are interested then compare for the sake of interest and you will be shocked. As for the sanctions, if I were the government, I would not only ban Apple products from sale in Russia, but also block access to its full use, without any compensation to the owners. And the justifications: "they are fools themselves, that they are being fooled for big money!"

September 23, 2017, 04:33 PMLike an adult, but write nonsense. Do you seriously think that other devices are not watching you? Even your computer with operating Windows system, or Lunix monitors your every move, as it was developed taking into account the requirements of the special services. Add to that the browser free programs, which half downloads from a torrent, etc. I'm not talking about the requirements for telecom operators and providers. Do you think that social networks, operating systems and large communications companies exist without the intervention of authorities? We do not live in the Stone Age, no one would allow them to carry out their activities. Calm down already, everyone is being watched, another question is that your couple of photos from the beach and home video with your mistress are not interesting to anyone but you. But if you become interesting, then the information will come in handy. And about the "power" of Nokia and other Samsungs, it's funny to read. It is enough for a normal person to pick up apple products and he will immediately feel the difference. And the point here is not so much in technical superiority, but in software optimization. But if you're the type who likes to look at numbers, charts, and benchmarks, then there's not much to talk about.
Over the past few weeks, the Russian media, blogosphere and social networks have been actively discussing topics with headlines like "Since January 1, 2015, the iPhone and iPad will be banned in Russia." This request has become one of the most popular in search engines, both Yandex and Google. RUSBASE decided to find out where this information came from and whether Apple would actually be banned in Russia.
One of the origins of the panic fear of Russians regarding their gadgets can be considered the proposal of the Moscow deputy Alexei Lisovenko to ban iPhone sales 6 in Russia, which were about to start. He shared his initiative on Twitter and announced that he was preparing an appeal to the State Duma.
However, the Ministry of Communications did not support this proposal. Communications and Mass Media Minister Nikolai Nikiforov told ITAR-TASS that the ministry will not create any obstacles for the free sale of new smartphones from Apple.
The politician also said that he would not buy the iPhone 6, but among his five phones there are models from Apple.
In light of the adopted law banning the storage of personal information of Russians on foreign servers, many have thought about how Facebook, Twitter, Google, and also Apple, which collects data about users stored on Californian servers, will work.
The main trigger for the hysteria was an interview with Russian Internet Ombudsman Dmitry Marinichev, where he allegedly announced a ban on the iPhone and other Apple equipment after the New Year. Apparently, this "statement" was taken out of context. In an article titled “From January 1, you will no longer be able to use your iPhone,” the ombudsman explains the principle of the adopted law and what further improvements are needed to eliminate various difficulties in its implementation. Excerpt from the interview:
But beyond that, companies need to change their software, so as not to transfer personal data abroad - and we are talking about almost all available software. Who and how will control all this is completely unclear. That is, from January 1, this is absolutely not a feasible thing. For example… Do you have an iPhone?
Here you have an Apple phone, you have Account iCloud. This is your personal data that is stored in the Apple data center. Under the new law, you can no longer use your iPhone from January 1, because Apple cannot provide its services in Russia, as it stores its personal Russian data in California. That is, everything related to “cloud services” should be derived from this law.
Earlier in the same interview, he stated that one of the priorities is to delay the entry into force of the law until September 1, 2016, and also a new version regulations, developed together with industry representatives.
After this material in RuNet, there was a boom in articles with frightening headlines “iPhone will be banned in Russia”, even some Western media wrote about it and a topic appeared on Reddit. An example of one of these articles:
From January 1, 2015 on the territory Russian Federation the use of iPhone and iPad devices is prohibited.<...>A special iCloud account program that is built into every iPhone and iPad transfers all information about each user to servers in the United States of America.
In order to write “use is prohibited”, you must at least have a valid provision in the law banning these particular devices, which, as you know, does not exist. Just as there are no official statements from the authorities or Apple about stopping activities in Russia, banning the sale or seizure of illegal devices.
It is probably worth noting that the iCloud function is disabled on Apple devices, and no one obliges you to register an Apple ID, and so on. In addition, there are no clear instructions in the law regarding cloud services. And it’s quite difficult to imagine that the authorities will start going around and taking devices from Russians from 2015 or imposing penalties on them for using them. The requirements of the authorities regarding the storage of data and the operation of devices are directed specifically to manufacturers, and not to consumers, so if any measures are applied, then in relation to companies.
Further, the media have already started talking about a ban on the sale, referring all to the same Marinichev, who did not say a word about this.
It is known that Roskomnadzor sent notifications to Facebook, Gmail and Twitter about the need to register in Russia as organizers of the dissemination of information, which Apple will also have to do.
We sent notifications to everyone and one way or another we will force them to comply with the law. They consult among themselves, communicate with California legal services. We are also consulting with them, and so far we are not in a special hurry. (deputy head of Roskomnadzor Maxim Ksenzov)
Having registered with Roskomnadzor as an organizer of the dissemination of information, the site must store within six months on the territory of the Russian Federation information about the facts of reception, transmission, delivery and (or) processing of voice information, written text, images, sounds or other electronic messages Internet users. In case of non-fulfillment of this, a fine is threatened, for legal entities it is up to 500 thousand rubles. If the sites do not register in accordance with all the rules, then Roskomnadzor may send a second request to eliminate the violation. It must be completed within 15 days. In case of non-compliance, the agency has the right to block the site for Russian users. Thus, the ban on the use of the iPhone can, at worst, be expressed in turning off iCloud for Russians. And then, this is a rather dubious measure, because it is not known how it will be carried out from the technical side.
For a month, the topic subsided a bit, but show must go on. As recently as today, November 24, the Izvestia newspaper wrote that the iPhone had already been banned, though in the army. As stated in the article, the journalists turned to “ hotline» The Ministry of Defense on issues of conscription and the employee stated the following:
iPhones are banned. You can take any phone except iPhone. This is purely an American company.
The ban is allegedly explained by the fact that with the help of a smartphone, conscripts are monitored and data is transmitted to the Pentagon. Major General Igor Konashenkov from the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation denied this information, assuring that there were no bans on the use of funds mobile communications and even more so, there are no products of any particular manufacturer in the armed forces. He also suspected Izvestia of such a peculiar Apple advertisement:
The Ministry of Defense does not exclude that the appearance of this untrue information may be a hidden advertisement of this gadget manufacturer and the characteristics of its products on the eve of New Year's sales.
In the end, all this can serve excellent service Apple as a PR company for which they didn't pay a dime. While there is no corresponding decree, as long as stores continue to purchase devices (the prices for which, by the way, have increased by 5 thousand), you should not worry. It is also not worth it because it is unprofitable for any of the parties to ban the manufacturer's products on the territory of Russia, and the legislators themselves actively use the devices.
10/13/2014 at 11:31, views: 194837Russian authorities may ban the use of iPhones and iPads from 2015, Internet Ombudsman Dmitry Marinichev said. According to him, the iCloud account program, which stores information about its users on American servers, is to blame. It goes against the law, which comes into force early next year.
From January 1, 2015, all personal data of Russian residents must be stored exclusively in Russia. Previously it was assumed that this rule will come into force in September 2016. Apple program iCloud, which transmits information about every user in the world to special servers in the US does not yet meet this standard. And therefore, the sale of iPhone and iPad may be banned.
According to Marinchev, not all companies will be able to prepare for January 1 in time, and therefore, they will fall under the restrictions of the new law, Argumenty.ru writes. Not only fans of "apple" gadgets will suffer, the ban will affect all Internet resources: social networks, including Facebook and Twitter, video portals and online stores.
Earlier, Roskomnadzor sent notifications to the American Internet services Facebook, Gmail and Twitter about the need to register in Russia as organizers of the dissemination of information, AiF notes. “We have sent notices to everyone and will force them to comply with the law one way or another. They are consulting among themselves, communicating with Californian legal services. We are also consulting with them and are not in a hurry,” said Maxim Ksenzov, deputy head of Roskomnadzor.
Having registered with Roskomnadzor as an organizer of the dissemination of information, the site must store information on the territory of the Russian Federation for six months about the facts of receiving, transmitting, delivering and (or) processing voice information, written text, images, sounds or other electronic messages of Internet users. Failure to comply with this requirement is subject to a fine: for legal entities - up to 500 thousand rubles.
If the sites do not register, Roskomnadzor has the right to send a second request to eliminate the violation, which must be completed within 15 days. AT otherwise The department has the right to block the platform for Russian Internet users.
Recently, the Russian authorities have come to grips with the information security of Russians. So, since August 1, the so-called law on bloggers has already begun to operate. According to the document, sites with traffic of more than 3,000 users per day must be included in the relevant register of Roskomnadzor. Registered bloggers will be required to post their full name and contact information on their page for sending legal comments, as well as indicate age restrictions for users.
The law obliges popular bloggers to verify the accuracy of the information posted, not to distribute extremist materials and information about the private life of a citizen in violation of civil law, and to comply with the electoral law.
In addition, the government of the Russian Federation submitted a bill to the State Duma, according to which site owners are required to point to them.
At the same time, the President of the Russian Federation promised not to take the Internet under total control. "We do not intend to restrict access to the network, put it under total control, nationalize the Internet, limit the legitimate interests and opportunities of people, public organizations, businesses in information sphere", - Putin said on October 1 at a meeting of the Security Council of the Russian Federation on the issue of countering threats in the information sphere.
According to the Internet Ombudsman of the Russian Federation Dmitry Marinichev, from January 1, 2015, iPhone and iPad owners will not be able to use their devices. Under the new law on personal data, Apple must store information about users of its gadgets in Russia. This is reported by "Primorskaya Gazeta" with reference to the website of the newspaper "Business Online".
The Internet Ombudsman of Russia believes that neither Apple nor any other company will have enough time to transfer content to the territory of the Russian Federation by January 1, 2015.
- On the this moment the impossible is required, - the expert is sure. - The tip of the iceberg of tasks is to buy servers, build or rent data centers and place everything here. But beyond that, companies still need to change their software so that they don't transfer personal data abroad, and that's pretty much all the software they have. Who and how will control all this is completely unclear. That is, from January 1, this is absolutely not a feasible thing.
Earlier, the deputies of the State Duma in the second reading approved the amendments that shift the start of the resolution from September 1, 2016 to January 1, 2015. The ban can affect all the usual Internet services, from social networks to buying goods on the Internet, all of which send user data to servers abroad. It is impossible to prepare a list of new requirements in such a short time. According to Marynich, if the deputies do not postpone the law, iPhone and iPad owners will not be able to use their devices.
“Here you have an Apple phone, you have an iCloud account,” the activist says. – This is your personal data that is stored in the Apple data center. Under the new law, you can no longer use your iPhone from January 1, because Apple cannot provide its services in Russia, as it stores its personal Russian data in California.
Solving such issues requires time and preparation on the part of companies. The problem will go away iOS users, if everything related to "cloud services" is withdrawn from this law, Dmitry Marinichev noted.
Recall that, according to amendments to the law "On Personal Data and Information", servers with personal data of Russians must be stored exclusively on the territory of the Russian Federation. The bill was submitted for discussion by the State Duma on June 25, the changes will affect FZ-152. Also, in addition to storage, it is assumed that the processing of personal data of Russians on the territory of the Russian Federation and the creation of a mechanism for restricting access to "information processed in violation of the legislation of the Russian Federation in the field of personal data" is expected. The consequences of passing the bill could be extremely negative, especially for areas such as online commerce, overseas tourism and air travel, where the online booking system has been actively used for many years.
Apple filed for 'gay emoji' case
According to Gazeta.ru, the police of the Kirov region opened an administrative case on the fact of "propaganda by Apple of homosexuality among minors." The reason for opening the case was the materials of the audit due to the statement of local lawyer Yaroslav Mikhailov, who saw the promotion of LGBT values in emoji that appeared in the operating room iOS system 8.3.
The case was opened back in August, and the emojis themselves were sent for examination to the Interregional Bureau of Forensic Examinations. Sikorsky. The experts of this institution must determine whether emoticons contain information that is dangerous for the formation of personality in children and adolescents. If the examination confirms the opinions of the police and Mikhailov, according to Russian law, Apple will have to pay a fine of 800,000 to 1 million rubles or the company will be threatened with suspension of activities throughout Russia.
As Mikhailov himself stated in a conversation with Gazeta.Ru, he first turned to the Russian Prosecutor General's Office and to the Commissioner for Children's Rights Pavel Astakhov through the Apple emoji. “My application was forwarded to the police of the Kirov region. As far as I know, the inspection was carried out by department "K", which deals with crimes in the field of information technologies. The police came to the conclusion that my complaint was justified, and opened an administrative case,” Mikhailov said.
The lawyer believes that the actions of Apple directly violate the norms of the current legislation of Russia, which prohibit the promotion of same-sex relationships, in particular the Constitution of the Russian Federation, as well as the norms federal law"On the Protection of Children from Information Harmful to Their Health and Development" and the Federal Law "On Basic Guarantees of the Rights of the Child in the Russian Federation".

Bill to ban iPhones in Russia from 2015
Some time ago, rumors began to appear that some kind of prohibitive legislation was being prepared regarding Apple devices. What kind of bill is this, which made half the population of Russia excited, who needs it and why should it be adopted?
Terrible things are said about him: that all users of "apple" smartphones will have their devices confiscated, and in case of refusal to voluntarily give out the offender's phone, they will be forced to pay a fine comparable to the cost latest model(more than 50,000 rubles), and they will take it away anyway!
In fact, we are not talking about a draft law, but about the already adopted law "On Amendments ..." dated July 21, 2014 No. 242-FZ, concerning the procedure for processing personal data in information and telecommunication networks. It began to act from 09/01/2015, and the consequences of its release are not so horrifying.
Is it true that Putin banned iPhone sales from the new year?
Why then is there a hype that iPhones will be banned? The fact is that when the law was still being prepared, there were several postponements of its entry into force.
Initially, it was about January 1, 2016, then the deadline was postponed a year earlier, that is, from January 1, 2015. Then there was information that it was postponed for an unknown period. As a result, on the very last day of 2014, Putin set a new date - September 1, 2015, enshrining it in the law of December 31, 2014 No. 526-FZ. Today it is the official date for the entry into force of a document that is not very pleasant for iPhone owners.
Why do they want to introduce a law banning iPhones in Russia?
As a rule, two main reasons are discussed. The first concerns retaliatory sanctions against the imposition of an economic blockade of Russia by the Americans in cooperation with the states of Europe and some other countries. It's no secret that a great many Russians use iPhone and iPad technology - many have one or another device, or even both (and even several). And if all of them are forced to abandon it, this will be a fairly tangible response to economic pressure from the United States.
The next reason is as follows: there is an assumption that the use of data cloud service iCloud, which stores information about users, provides Americans with great opportunities in tracking smartphone owners, which, of course, is not safe.
Lawyers: iPhone ban is theoretically possible
This is especially true for people who are related to the civil service and state secrets.
iPhone will be banned in Russia due to the release of the first domestic smartphone?
There is another very interesting version. We are probably talking about the promotion of the first serious domestic IT product - a smartphone called YotaPhone, which was developed by our Russian developers and, according to some statements, has no analogues in the world.
True, for sale new smartphone came out with a price comparable to the cost of many well-known foreign models tested by Russian users, including the iPhone. It is clear that the Russians did not actively buy the unknown device - so it was decided to take restrictive measures on the use of competitors' models.
Latest news about iPhone ban in Russia since 2017
At the end of 2014, information appeared about another bill being prepared, which would recommend that State Duma deputies not use iPhones and other popular models for telephone conversations, but simple mobile phones. This is done for the sake of the same state security. The law may apply to those persons who have access to secret and extremely important information.
However, to date, this bill has not been submitted to the State Duma for consideration.
And yet in 2017-2018 will the iPhone be banned?
So what actually awaits iPhone owners in 2017-2018 - maybe it’s worth saving up money for other models? Circumstances today show the following. After the law 242-FZ came into force on September 1, 2015, it is possible to restrict the use of certain services on Apple devices, and it is also possible to stop their sales if the iPhone and iPad manufacturer does not adapt to new requirements (to store information about Russian users, according to law, it will be possible only on servers located in Russia). However, it will not come to the confiscation of the gadgets themselves.
Note that this situation develops in this way not only for Apple, but also for any other foreign companies that store the personal data of our compatriots at home.

Russian authorities proposed to impose sanctions against Apple
On January 1, 2015, the law on personal data will come into force. This means that all Internet servers are required to store information about their users only on the territory of the Russian Federation. Embedded in Apple products special program iCloud account, which transfers all information about every user in the world to special servers in the United States of America.
"Enjoy mobile devices Apple from January 1, 2015, Russian residents will not be able to," Russian Ombudsman Dmitry Marinichev said in an interview with Business Gazeta.
This is due to the fact that Apple does not have the ability to provide its services on the territory of the Russian Federation, but stores personal Russian data in California.
It is impossible to solve the issue of "cloud" technologies now, since it takes time: to locate the company's foreign data centers in Russia, buy new servers and replace existing software.
The deputies of the State Duma in the second reading approved the amendments, according to which the new resolution will come into force on January 1, 2015 instead of the previous date - September 1, 2016.

Russia to ban Apple products
|
From January 1, 2015, Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, and the iPhone will be outlawed, but will not be banned until the authorities need it.
The authorities continue to tighten the screws in the media sphere. On January 1, 2015, the next amendments to the law “On Information Protection” will come into force, according to which all companies involved in the dissemination of information will be required to register with Roskomnadzor and transfer their servers to the territory of Russia.
The main victims will be Russian representative offices of Internet services, such as: Gmail, Facebook, Twitter and even Apple . Roskomnadzor has already sent them notifications of mandatory registration as information dissemination organizers (ARI). According to the logic of things, from the New Year it will become impossible to use the services of these foreign companies.
But, apparently, a sharp disconnection of users from services will not happen. The authorities are creating a tool so that the "external Internet" can be turned off at any moment, and legally. But it is not obvious that the authorities do not want to create a hotbed of tension, depriving users of their mail, blog, and even iPhone, moreover, on New Year's Eve.
It is clear that it will not be difficult for such large companies to go through the registration procedure as an ORI. Difficulties arise in terms of other requirements, namely the transfer of servers to the territory of Russia. For giant companies, this is a complex, time-consuming and costly procedure. For one Russian segment of Facebook, up to 1.5 thousand servers may be needed, and service needs cloud storage Apple's iCloud is dozens of times bigger. Finding such capacities in Russia is quite problematic.
Roskomnadzor says that their powers are limited only to the requirement to register companies as organizers of information distributors.
Those who are late until the New Year will simply be subjected to administrative fines. As for the blocking on the territory of the Russian Federation, the department does not plan to deal with this on its own. And only when the department receives an appeal from the competent departments, for example, from the Court, the Prosecutor's Office, the FSB or the Investigative Committee.
But in the hands of the authorities turned out to be the same "knife switch from the Internet", since all foreign Internet resources, even simple websites of individuals, fall within the scope of the law.
It is interesting that for many international companies there will be a dilemma, according to whose laws to work? So sometimes Russian rules contradict the requirements of American institutions. Google does not have the right to transfer information about users to Russian law enforcement agencies. In addition, there are many inaccuracies in the new law. For example, companies are required to store on Russian servers information about any users, not just the Russian part. It turns out that giant companies will have to transfer all databases to the Russian Federation, which sounds completely absurd. Imagine if Apple had to migrate more than 1 billion user data to our servers. It is interesting that our IT people understand this and are trying to convey this information to officials who make such decisions. Russian Internet Ombudsman Dmitry Marinichev , I agree that FB, Google and Apple will not have enough time and effort to transfer all their content to the territory of Russia. "Requires the Impossible: Rent a large number servers, changing software so as not to transfer personal data abroad,” Marinichev believes, emphasizing, “before January 1, this cannot be done.” Remember, the law was supposed to go into effect in 2016.
And the ban on the work of Apple can be regarded as a violation of consumer rights. The stumbling block is the iCloud account, a cloud server where the personal data of the iPhone owner is stored (passport data, credit card numbers, etc.).
Apple products may be banned in Russia?
According to Dmitry Marinichev, everything related to "cloud services" needs to be removed from the law.
I wonder if the main Russian iOS user, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, will support the amendments to the law. After all, if the law comes into force, he will lose both his favorite gadget and his social pages on Instagram, FB and Twitter. Previously, the politician actively promoted new technologies among officials, during his tenure he introduced the use of tablets like the iPad into fashion, and also brought mayors and governors to social networks.
Of the social networks operating today in Russia, only LiveJournal diaries are located on domestic server sites. Back in 2007, the authorities, concerned about the threat of the Orange Revolution, asked businessman Alexander Mamut to buy the Russian segment of this blogging platform. In 2013, the Russian Vkontakte network passed from the hands of private businessman Pavel Durov to Mail.ruGroup, controlled by Alisher Usmanov. Earlier, Usmanov's holding bought the Odnoklassniki social network from Albert Popkov and acquired a 10% stake in Facebook.
As for competitors to imported smartphones, YotaPhone can be considered the only alternative Russian development. A failure can be considered a project from the company "AFK-System", which developed a telephone navigator with a dual GPS and GLONASS navigation system.

Ban on iPhones
From January 1, 2015, Gmail, Facebook, Twitter and iPhone will be outlawed, but they will not be banned until the authorities need it.
Will the iPhone be banned in Russia? Will iPhones be banned in 2017-2018?
According to Russian Internet Ombudsman Dmitry Marinichev, neither Apple nor any other company will have enough time to transfer data to Russia by early next year.
To do this, it will be necessary not only to buy the required number of servers, but also to change the software so as not to transfer personal data abroad. What other Internet services can be banned?
All Internet services that send data abroad will be banned. Restrictive measures may also affect popular social networks and email services.
Earlier, Roskomnadzor sent notifications to the American Internet services Facebook, Gmail and Twitter about the need to register in Russia as organizers of the dissemination of information.
“We have sent notices to everyone and we will force them to comply with the law one way or another. They consult among themselves, communicate with California legal services. We are also consulting with them and so far we are not specifically in a hurry, ”said Maxim Ksenzov, deputy head of Roskomnadzor. Read more: Why should Google, Facebook and Twitter register in the Roskomnadzor registry?
Having registered with Roskomnadzor as an organizer of the dissemination of information, the site must store for six months “on the territory of the Russian Federation information about the facts of receiving, transmitting, delivering and (or) processing voice information, written text, images, sounds or other electronic messages of Internet users ". Failure to comply with this requirement is subject to a fine: for legal entities - up to 500 thousand rubles.
