“The President of Russia considers it necessary to monitor information threats on the Web” :
On January 26, the
text of the list of instructions issued by the president on the results of the Internet Economy 2015 forum appeared on the Kremlin’s website. In particular, the text speaks of the need to work out the introduction of amendments to the current legislation, which allow taxing the purchase of software and content from foreign suppliers. The declared goal of these changes is “ensuring equal conditions of business”.
These proposals were first raised long before the "IE-2015", but it was on December 22 that the most radical statements were made at the forum, from which the performance of the head of InfoWatch Natalia Kaspersky can be singled out separately. Among its proposals, in particular, it can be noted "the need to legally regulate the use of personal data of citizens by any organizations."

In order to express the essence of what is happening as neutral as possible, I will resort to Natalya Ivanovna’s direct quotations (taken partly
from here and
from here ):
Huge layers of information are owned by individual companies, a significant part of these companies are foreign, and, in fact, foreign special services and foreign countries have direct access to them. This, of course, is unacceptable. [...]
The idea is to declare the layer of these personal data to be the property of the state and allow the state to legally regulate it [...]. We must also have control over the information resources
We propose to create a law according to which personal data will belong to the state.
The existing civil law mechanism for the transfer of rights to the use of personal data Kaspersky proposed to level, arguing that most users still do not read the EULA or other agreements proposed when installing software or starting to use the service.
No comments personally from me - I'm afraid, even for GT, they will sound too radical.
I suggest everyone to make independent conclusions.
I would be happy to mark it as “news”, but, apparently, this functionality is not available to me.
