The head of Roskomnadzor Andrey Lipov at a meeting with President Vladimir Putin offered to broaden the powers of the Agency, as well as to finalize the regulation. In particular, we are talking about the establishment of a mechanism for removal from the Internet of personal data in court, and increase the Statute of limitations for violations in the field of personal data. The extension of the “right to be forgotten” could potentially lead to abuse, experts warn.During the meeting with Vladimir Putin on August 10 the head of Roskomnadzor Andrey Lipov proposed to expand the powers of the Department. In particular, he noted that in accordance with the 108th Convention on the automated processing of data state is entitled to determine the countries in which improperly processed personal data, “And we would here also wanted this power for Roskomnadzor to fix”.The head of Roskomnadzor proposed to introduce the ability to remove from the Internet your personal data over the court: “We would like here to consider some mechanism that will allow people to say that, sorry, this information is about my stay even if I’m a famous person, it has nothing to do with information of public interest from a political or public significance of a person through a court at least remove”.In addition, the Statute of limitations for violations in the field of personal data needs to be increased to years, says Andrew Lipow because sometimes things just don’t have time to be reviewed in court. The current penalties for the misuse of personal data is also insufficient, the largest of which is 75 thousand rubles, said the official. In addition, Andrew Lipow suggested “more clearly” regulate biometric data.In 2019, the Roskomnadzor has received 43 thousand complaints of improper processing of personal data, which is 20% more than last year, said Andrew Lipow. Increased the number of complaints of “negative content” — to 557 thousand, and just last year removed 531 thousand materials with prohibited content, he said.The Chairman of the Commission on legal empowerment of the digital economy of the Moscow branch of Association of lawyers of Russia Alexander Zhuravlev said just increase the Statute of limitations for violations in personal data. “Data leakage is used as fuel for gaining access to Bank accounts and accounts in social networks and other unlawful actions. Biometric data need special regulation because it is very sensitive data — once a voice or a fingerprint of a person gets on the black market, we can say that the person is compromised, because these data are impossible to replace,” explains the expert. Higher fines for leaks also long overdue, agrees Advisor practice of information technologies of the company “Tomashevskaya and partners” Roman Yankovsky.Besides, he adds, please send to Roskomnadzor the right to “instrumental control” of data processing is also made at the meeting with the President, means that the Agency wants to get right to the technical expertise of operators, and this will require significant resources and could potentially lead to a violation of the rights of business.Dmitry Shestoperov, Valeria Lebedeva who, what, and how successfully fought regulatorsthe next
