Roskomnadzor: we have not yet received a response from Netflix regarding the localization of personal data of Russians
The head of Roskomnadzor, Alexander Zharov, said that the agency had sent a request to the American company Netflix about “compliance with the legislation on the storage of personal data of Russians in Russia, ” RNS reports . In this case, the regulator has not yet received a response from the service.
“We sent a request to Netflix, how they are going to localize personal data in the territory of the Russian Federation and what to do with taxes that they do not pay. We have relations in development with them, ”Zharov said at a meeting with students of the Faculty of Journalism at Moscow State University.
Let me remind you that earlier Sergei Petrov, the deputy general director of CTC Media, said that it was possible for domestic companies to start acting to impose some restrictions on the video streaming market in Russia. This step, as noted by Petrov, may be necessary to compete with Netflix. He also said that "companies must have registered representative offices in Russia, become tax residents so that the turnover of payments received from consumerism passes through the Russian taxable base and the country receives from this an opportunity to strengthen domestic content."
The Ministry of Communications supported this idea. Alexey Volin, Deputy Minister of Communications and Mass Media, said earlier that Netflix did not contact the Ministry of Communications. But he agrees with the arguments of representatives of the domestic business: “Personally, the arguments of our industry that Netflix should get a broadcaster’s license and a media license seem convincing enough ... We don’t know any arguments from Netflix, since we have no contacts with the Ministry of Communications and Mass communication company Netflix before starting work in Russia did not go. "

Domestic business is dissatisfied with the fact that the foreign streaming service does not pay taxes in Russia and does not purchase the rights to show Russian products, using instead Western television shows and serials.
Netflix is already working in Russia. At the moment, the service has 75 million subscribers. In the service catalog more than 13 thousand units of content.
After the entry into force of the Law on the storage of personal data in Russia (from September 1, 2015), companies operating in the country obliged to keep personal data of Russians processed on the Internet on servers located in the territory of the Russian Federation. For some companies, including Twitter, Facebook and others, the regulator has made an indulgence, promising not to carry out checks for several months. Nevertheless, at the current meeting at Moscow State University, Zharov said that Facebook and Twitter had not yet transferred the personal data of Russians to servers in Russia, reports RNS.
