In the State Duma offered to ban the storage of personal data on foreign servers

State Duma Vice Speaker Sergei Zheleznyak proposed adopting a law obliging to host servers with personal data of Russian citizens and official information of the authorities on the territory of Russia, as well as to support domestic electronic production and development of their own software.

“We must seriously protect the information of our citizens and the information of our country. This can be realized only on condition that the network, server equipment containing personal data and information of our official bodies is located within the territory of the Russian Federation within our jurisdiction so that various spies, intelligence and fraudsters cannot take advantage of the difference in legislative approaches and not respond to the questions that our investigation and justice have, ”said Zheleznyak.

“I propose to implement this in the framework of legislative initiatives and, if possible, to adopt them in the fall. Also (I propose) to support the Russian electronic industry and software at the state level. We have to create information products ourselves, and not use strangers, ”said Zheleznyak.
He noted that in the modern world, Russia must ensure its “digital sovereignty,” RIA Novosti reports.

“The world has changed, today information is more important than ever and is a key condition for success,” said Zheleznyak.

“Americans blame us for stopping the propaganda of sodomy among children, and at the same time they themselves stick their noses in the personal correspondence of tens of millions of Russian citizens. The striking duplicity of the Pharisees of these Western democracies, who, on the one hand, urge us to respect the law, to respect human rights, to ensure the confidentiality of information, and on the other hand, unceremoniously climb and steal the information of our citizens, ”said Zheleznyak.

According to him, the Constitution of the Russian Federation contains the right to privacy, telephone conversation, correspondence, a direct prohibition to collect, store, use and disseminate information about private life without a court decision, the same principles are written in the laws of other countries, but "in practice, we face a flagrant violation of human rights."

“The United States, which presents itself as a stronghold of democracy, in fact, carries out surveillance every minute for tens of millions of citizens, including citizens of Russia and other states. In this ugly history, all the major companies that are established in the United States are involved, and these companies really operate in our country, ”said Zheleznyak.

“It is significant that none of the Russian human rights activists said a word in defense of the rights and freedoms of Russian citizens, whose private correspondence was violated,” said Zheleznyak.

He noted that in law enforcement it is necessary to ensure the protection of our citizens from the actions of intelligence services of other countries: "This is our strategic task in the 21st century, and we must do everything to make our citizens feel protected."

In early June, ex-CIA agent Evard Snowden spoke about a secret electronic tracking program for users of Internet companies and social networks, codenamed PRISM, which is conducted by the FBI and the NSA.

For several years, these structures have direct access to Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, Skype, YouTube, PalTalk, AOL and Apple servers.

Now the ex-CIA officer is hiding in Hong Kong. If it is transferred to the United States, he faces life imprisonment for the disclosure of secret data. Ecuador agreed to grant asylum to Snowden.
