Search services will not be fined due to violations of the law on "oblivion"
The Committee on Information Policy of the State Duma considers that the provision on penalizing search engines for 100 thousand rubles. for refusing to delete links to information about users on the Web is redundant, writes "RBC". The profile committee made an appropriate amendment to the Administrative Code, which is now contained in the draft law deferred by the Duma until the autumn of the set of documents on the “right to oblivion”, which establishes liability measures for Internet companies. The very law on the editing of citizens to remove irrelevant information about themselves from the Internet search passed the third, final reading, and was adopted by the Duma.
At the same time, the law was somewhat relaxed after the deputies of the information policy committee held a series of consultations with representatives of the Internet industry. Then the clause on the right of citizens to demand removal of search links to reliable information from the search was removed from the bill.
In the autumn, the Duma will consider the second bill, which regulates penalties for search engines, which give users an unreasonable refusal to remove links to information about users. At the same time, the bill provides for the automatic charging of a fine of 100 thousand rubles. if the court recognizes the refusal of the search service to delete the link unreasonable. If the search engine and then refuses to delete the link, the amount of the fine increases to 3 million rubles.
According to Maxim Buyanov, a lawyer of the Russian Association of Electronic Communications, the threat of a fine of 100 thousand rubles. may well be the reason for the termination of the issuance of links to any requests of applicants without examination. “Any penalty is terrible because you have to pay it. I cannot answer for the search engines, but theoretically they can stop issuing most of the links so that their refusal is not appealed and they do not pay fines [if penalties are introduced], ”says Maxim Buyanov.
