The State Duma unanimously allowed the FSB to the Internet
On Friday evening, the State Duma unanimously adopted in its first reading Bill No. 361795-6 , which empowers the FSB with powers similar to those of the K Department of the RF Ministry of the Interior.
The explanation for the adoption of this bill is simple:
The representative of the government, the deputy director of the FSB of the Russian Federation, Yuri Gorbunov, explained that skeptics who criticize the draft law simply misunderstand his goal - “Until now, none of the executive authorities have followed information security. We have elements of protection: in the Criminal Code there are several elements of crimes that fall into this category. But recent events have shown that an integrated approach is needed and in this regard, the President issued Decree 31 on January 15, 2013, which entrusted the FSB with the authority to create a state system for detecting, preventing and eliminating the effects of computer attacks. That's the point. ”
Explanations completely staged all those present. The first reading of the bill was supported by 446 deputies. Against: 0, abstained: 0. Did not vote: four from the Liberal Democratic Party.
