The Russian bill on the “right to oblivion” was adopted in the first reading, contrary to the opinion of Internet companies.
In the first reading, a bill on the “right to oblivion” was adopted. Its essence is to allow users to request removal of links to inaccurate, outdated (more than three years) or “information that is distributed in violation of the law”. Data on outstanding criminal record and criminal or administrative offenses that have not expired statute of limitations shall not be deleted. 423 deputies voted "for", 26 did not vote, and deputy Dmitry Gudkov spoke against.
To make a claim, a citizen must indicate his contact details, the reason for deletion and the information itself, which is subject to “oblivion”. After that, within three days the search company has the right to clarify the requirement. In case of failure of the search engine to execute it, the citizen can go to court.
The largest Internet companies operating in Russia are still opposed to the draft law: Yandex , Google , Rambler & Co and Mail.ru Yandex believes that the innovations contradict Article 29 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and Article 8 of the Law On Information.

The Roem.ru edition cites feedback from Yandex representatives on the project:
1. Absolutely does not solve the goals set - restricting the dissemination of information about a citizen on the Internet, “which is unreliable, irrelevant or distributed in violation of the law” and “protecting the honor, dignity and business reputation of citizens”
2. contains obvious contradictions to the current Russian legislation;
3. unreasonably and disproportionately limits the rights of citizens to search for information and access to it;
4. proposes to transfer the functions of courts or law enforcement agencies to commercial search organizations;
5. introduces a clear imbalance between private and public interests;
6. does not take into account the principles of the search engines and the technical features of the development of the Internet;
7. It is fundamentally different from the decision of the European Court, to which the authors of the draft law refer, and which itself is subject to serious criticism.
