In Russia, at the request of citizens without a court order from internet search engines may be removed references to unwanted information about them. Such a bill introduced in the State Duma deputies of the group. According to the authors, the proposed legislation will help them fully ensure the protection of honor, dignity and business reputation of the Russians.
Olga Kazakova (“United Russia”), Alexey Kazakov (“Fair Russia”), Vadim Dengin (LDPR) and Leonid Kalashnikov (CPRF) made to the State Duma a bill allowing demand from internet search engines remove links to the false information which may affect the dignity or reputation of a person. If the information was correct, but for the events of more than three years ago and somehow detrimental to the image and dignity of man, it can also be removed upon request. An exception is made only for information “about the events containing elements of a criminal offense, terms of criminal responsibility for which has not expired, as well as information about a crime committed by a citizen, for which has not been repaid or conviction».
«disseminated on the Internet information about citizens is not always consistent with the principles of relevance, reliability, and can be distributed in violation of the law, in connection with which the bill proposes to give citizens the right to require the operator to search the Internet to stop issuing references allows access to the information on this citizen, “- said in a memorandum to the bill.
If the operator refuses to remove a search engine link to material or remove it within six days, he will be brought to administrative responsibility. The punishment shall be a fine of 100 thousand. Up to 3 million rubles.
In addition, deputies amended the 152 th article of the Civil Code, according to which a citizen is entitled to demand the removal of not satisfied with his information “from any person who spread the information and provide information the place of its location on the Internet. ” Bill came into force, according to its authors, should be a January 1, 2016.
In “Yandex” said they oppose the bill and consider it unconstitutional and dangerous for the media and information sites. “This document violates the constitutional right of citizens to search, access and retrieval of information. If the law is passed, access to a wide array of public information can be difficult. In addition, the project sets the stage for numerous abuses. ”
The press service of the company believe that the bill “imposes on operators of search engines non-core functions of state bodies”, in other words, the validation information is not within the competence of the online search engine. “The bill does not provide for the removal of specific references, but actually requires the operator search engine to search for information related to the citizen – in the law there is no requirement for the applicant to specify a specific reference to be deleted. This will require the pre-moderation search service. This information will remain online and continue to be distributed in other ways – for example, through social networks, “- believe in the company, while stressing the paradox of the parliamentary initiative.
The authors of the bill refer to the international experience, in particular on the decision of the Court of the European Union, which last year ruled that the search engine Google is required to remove from the search results information about people if she LLC does not match reality. In early June, Google launched a special service to remove the data and the first four days received over 41 thousand. Requests. Six months later “forgotten” were already about 500 thousand. URL-addresses. However, Google has decided to mark the results subjected to censorship. Search engine notifies users about hidden links on a specific request, that is all they are hidden under a separate line in the basement of the search results.
