People from Roskomnadzora complain that the government’s handling of the US authorities Twitter handles in a short time. Even referred to specific figures – from the beginning of the year online microblogging platform has provided authorities information about 2,5 thousand. Subscribers. Head of Roskomnadzor A. Zharov told the media that the Russian office of Twitter is not in a hurry with the execution of the legitimate demands of the Russian authorities same.
In Roskomnadzor say that Twitter has repeatedly ignored requests made in accordance with the federal law of the Russian Federation, regarding restrictions on access to subscribers illegal extremist information. Office to prepare a list of network resources, calling for mass rallies and natural disturbances. The registry Roskomnadzora already made a record of fifty bands to Twitter, the majority of which is devoted to topics related to the distribution of narcotic drugs and other profiles are promoting suicide and pornography. At the moment, prohibited by federal law of the Russian Federation with the information platform fifty tapes removed.
Now Roskomnadzora registry entries are more than a hundred of those tapes or other Twitter, but illegal information from more than 60 of them have not been removed. Representatives of the agency noted that the problem of interaction with the online platform is under the jurisdiction of the United States, is a direct neglect or lack of official reaction to the information, contrary to the laws of the Russian Federation, and claim that forced the Russians to block access to information of this nature must be carried out immediately.
Attention is drawn to the fact that once the issue of official inquiries is the lack of contact information for postal correspondence with local authorities, and processing requirements takes from a few days to over a week. Now there is no such problem. Nevertheless, the administration of the Russian office of Twitter, despite the notice, a few months hesitated to remove the gap of information from a pair of profiles that promote suicide, referring to the comic nature of these tapes. Achieved as a result of the removal of this information is only an introduction to the structure of public authorities feedback channels that occurred in December last year. Now during processing governmental request, followed by removal of said data down to matter of days, which is in accordance with the officially established period of three days.
In Roskomnadzor say that the online microblogging platform demonstrates the hypocrisy in matters of blocking access. Twitter, note, quickly remove all materials covering riots and riots in Ferguson, United States.
One of the profiles, presumably associated with the extremist group “Anonymous internationalists”, posted personal contacts and photos of the police officer who shot in black, as well as several video clips from CCTV cameras with the decoded call recording police where called the name of the person shooter. The police, incidentally, has denied the fact that this man was in the film of its employees. Given the nature of the early activities of “Anonymous internationalists”, experts in forensics expressed the view that the placement of such materials has been carried out in order to call for mass riots. The men behind the profile reported burglary municipal network Ferguson, IN WITNESS WHEREOF, published a photo of a police officer in charge of the administrative district and to investigate the incident, as well as photographs of his family, and the address of their residence. Guide Twitter took just a couple of days to block the profile.
K. Kazarian of analytical department of the National Association of electronic communications (RAEC), in its turn, is of the opinion that Twitter should US law with a reasonable degree of ignoring sanctions on Russian territory. “Regarding requests Roskomnadzora disclosure, the reason for the slowness at a glance: an American company under the jurisdiction of the United States, period. But the issues blocking of certain Feed me personally a few uncertain. What is equated agency specific profiles to extremist? If this conclusion directly Roskomnadzora experts, the requirements are not baseless, as the only authority with a valid word in this case is the Prosecutor General’s Office. If everything was done as it should, delays could have been avoided – the law set aside a fixed term for these procedures, what shall be deemed Twitter ».
r. Klimenko, who was standing at the bottom of the online service LiveInternet, and the former among the founders of the Institute for Development Network (IRI), believes that Russian officials have no chance of execution of the request of the American online platform. “If I understand correctly, Twitter interests in our country is promoting is not an official representation, and they are forced to carry out an agreement with US headquarters in California, because Twitter operates within the American legal field. Directly blocking profiles still in their power, since most online services include item in the user agreement concerning violations of law, followed by the denial of access. However, the question of disclosure of personal data could be discussed for a long time, for the reason that it is necessary to clearly understand the degree of violation of US laws – providing personal information to third parties could potentially lead to lawsuits and further losses are cases in court. All the problems of Russian officials in this regard is the absence of signed cooperation agreements, and are affected by legal and not a political plane – Twitter as a private company wants the most favorable outcome for itself ».
A. Yushchenko of the Duma committee on information policy, information technologies and communications, said the changes in the law in the near future will allow regulators to simplify the process of obtaining information from the owners of web resources. «Twitter contains a large number of profiles, many of which were created under false names, and conduct illegal activity on other social platforms, allowing yourself to direct insults, spreading fabricated facts and appeals clearly extremist. All of this goes against the life of a healthy society, disorienting network users. From this perspective, the position of department logical and clear, and the agency can afford to form such a request, and the owners of the online platform should be treated with understanding this. By the way, in Russia from September this year, will come into force the revised law governing personal data. New legislation will have to seriously lighten the protracted negotiations on the said process. In the end, our main task is to return the original function of social networking sites of communication between people with diverse interests, and now transformed into a network running a political tool ».
