According to some reports, in Russia unsuccessfully tried to simulate the disconnection from the global Internet. In addition, the authorities are interested in the problem of spam messengers. Legal entities want legally required to identify the user and to ensure a lock accounts of spammers. This writes of Polit.ru.
How to write media, the decision on the development of relevant legislation on the messengers were taken at a meeting of the working group of the Federation Council on the problem of spam, which includes representatives of telecom operators, Ministry of Economic Development, Roskomnadzor and other relevant agencies. Senator Lyudmila Bokova, under whose leadership held a meeting, explained that the messengers are actively developing and therefore there is the need for their regulation. According to her, this link should not violate the privacy of users.
The meeting discussed amendments to the law “On Telecommunications”, which came into force last autumn. Their goal was to fight against spam. According to the amendments, SMS advertising can be sent only with the permission of the subscriber. The exceptions are messages that are sent in accordance with the legislation – for example, from the authorities. In addition, amendments have facilitated the rejection of mailings.
Changes to the law amendments were intended to protect the subscribers’ mobile radiotelephone from sending their user equipment for mobile wireless networks of short text messages. ” According to some lawyers, messages in the messengers did not actually fall under this definition – they are sent over the Internet, and often include a picture.
«We believe that there is the same story as with conventional SMSkami and e-mail – that is, part 1 of Article 18 of the Law “On Advertising” prohibits advertising of any telecommunication networks without the consent of the subscriber to receive. Thus, advertising through messengers also comes under this provision of the Federal Law “On Advertising”. The Advertising must prove that he has the consent of the subscriber, “- said the FAS. However, from the point of view of lawyers, the law “On Advertising” is less effective for use than changing the law “On Telecommunications”. If the user tries to punish the messenger spammers, he, according to the first law, should apply to the FAS, indicating advertiser.
Changing the law has led to the fact that spammers have switched to instant messengers. “With the changing economic situation and the legislation we note an increase in the amount of spam. If earlier it was hundreds of locks, but now the number of blocked numbers close to 1500 “, – reported earlier this year, co-founder and CTO Viber Igor Magazinik.
At the meeting of the working group on the issue of spam reported that the corporate segment messengers began to use more than twice as likely as the Russian audience of several popular programs for a total of over 20 million people. To regulate this type of communications were invited to oblige the owners of messengers to identify users and to create a free service to unsubscribe from unwanted messages. FAS believes that this measure will help to solve the problem of identifying distributors of advertising. However, there are problems and political background – to Roskomnadzor believe that messengers can be used for campaigning in the “days of silence” before the election.
Some companies are already using the identification of the phone number. The Commission for the Development of the Information Society of the Federation Council does not exclude that such mechanisms will be discussed for a long time with the messengers.
The Ministry of Communications believe that the introduction of the identification of the messenger is worth considering. “Members messengers, according to our observations, rarely direct spam complaints. Instead, they use a functional block unwanted senders, which is in each such application. We see no need to change the existing legal framework in the regulation of spam messengers “, – explained in the department.
Among 4Talk say that now users are identified by their telephone number or e-mail. In Viber has introduced a system to combat spam – a message from a user that is not in the contacts will not be displayed, but if you want you can read it.
The Russian authorities, as it turns out, is interested not only spam messengers, but and control over foreign Internet traffic. So, in the provider “ER-Telecom” reported unsuccessful experiment, the Ministry of Communications and spring Roskomnadzor to isolate Russia from the global Internet. According to the provider, in order to cut off the RF network, virtually cut off the main channels, but traffic still continued to go abroad. Moreover, its specific routes could not be detected.
The company decided that the culprits of failure became almost uncontrollable state small Internet providers – they do not have systems DPI (technology accumulation of statistical data, inspection and packet filtering by content) and because of the use of satellite channels are “seams” between the Russian and foreign internet. In “ER-Telecom” believe that this situation leads to the fact that these providers do not block sites from the blacklist of Roskomnadzor, promote piracy and DDos-attacks.
«Concerning the so-called” experimental Roskomnadzor and the Ministry of Communications modeling off Russia from foreign internet. ” I do not want to deny someone else’s nonsense. I do not know who gets distorted, “- commented on the provider’s press secretary Vadim Roskomnadzor Ampelonsky.
Last year, it was reported to hold” exercises for the protection of the Russian segment of the Internet “on behalf of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Authorities were trying to check whether you can disable Runet outside, for example, under the sanctions. The results of the exercise were presented to the head of state at a meeting of the Security Council to ensure the safety of Information Resource of state bodies and to avoid restrictions on access to the Russians. Following the meeting in the Ministry of Communications announced plans to build duplicate infrastructure. Later, the Office declared the regular holding of such exercises together with the FSB.
