Last edits to the bill on the “right to oblivion” made before the second reading
On June 26, at the meeting of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, they made further amendments to the bill on the “right to oblivion”.
Instead of deleting links to inaccurate information, search engines will simply stop issuing links "to information not relevant to the applicant." This information is no longer relevant due to certain events or actions of the applicant.
The applicant will be required to prove the irrelevance of the information. If, for example, on the Internet it is stated that the applicant does not have a higher education, then he must provide a diploma so that this information is considered irrelevant.

In all disputable situations regarding the assessment of the relevance and reliability of information, the decision on removal will be made by the court, and not by the search companies. Although the latter had previously feared that this work would be completely entrusted to them.
In the application for deletion of information in addition to their contact information, the applicant must necessarily provide a link to this information. In addition, the user must be ready to provide an identity document.
The term of consideration of the application increased from three to ten working days.
Search engines are still forbidden to report on the information to which access has been limited upon the request of certain users.
Also two more offers of Internet companies were not taken into account. The bill left the possibility of filing a lawsuit at the place of residence of the plaintiff. The proposal to extend the term of entry into force of the law until January 1, 2017 was also not adopted, RBC reports .
In connection with the new law, Russian Internet companies expect significant financial costs. “The amount of expenses is enormous: it will be necessary to create an automatic system to respond to requests that are scattered on an industrial scale, and organize a service for processing requests,” says Leonid Filatov, founder of the statistics system Openstat .
Significant costs may be associated with the filing of applications at the place of residence of the plaintiff. “In fact, huge budgets will have to be spent only on regional courts,” said Matvey Alekseev, Rambler & Co ’s external communications director.
June 25, "Megamind" wrote that the Legal Department of the State Duma came out with harsh criticism of the bill. In the official conclusion, representatives of the management recommend to correlate the provisions specified in the draft law with the 152nd article of the Civil Code.
The second and third reading of the bill is scheduled for Tuesday, June 30th. The law should come into force in 2016.
