The soul did not stand it about it

The exposure of the American special services, who received a shelter in Russia, Edward Snowden made a sharp criticism of the Yarova Law. On his Twitter, he called for "never signing" this bill.

The "New Russian" Law of a Big Brother "(a reference to George Orwell’s novel" 1984 ". - Ed.) Unrealized and will become an unjustified violation of rights," Snowden wrote. Snowden called the requirement for communication operators and Internet companies to store content up to six months "not only dangerous, but also impractical."

“Mass surveillance does not work. The bill will take money and freedom from every Russian, while the level of security will not increase. It should not be signed,” Snowden is sure.

On Saturday, the creator of the VKontakte social network and Telegram messenger Pavel Durov refused to comply with the requirements of the Yarovaya Law on opening methods of encryption of messages. “Telegram does not give out data or encryption keys to third parties, including governments,” said Durov. “Laws adopted in individual countries will not affect this policy.”

The law obliges the organizers of the dissemination of information to transmit to the special services the encryption keys so that law enforcement agencies can decode correspondence. In the event of a refusal of the company, a fine of up to one million rubles may be imposed.

On Friday, the State Duma adopted in the second and third readings a package of "anti -terrorist" amendments. At the last moment, norms on the deprivation of Russian citizenship of bipatrides for terrorist crimes and work for foreign intelligence services and NGOs were excluded from the text of the amendments. However, the document retains the provisions on the storage of Russian communication operators about the facts of subscribers for 3 years, and the context itself, including video, up to six months.

For owners of messengers and social networks, these norms were partially softened: it will not be possible to delete information about the facts of information transmission and user data during the year, and not three years, as it was in the previous version of the text.

The law also sharply tightens responsibility for crimes of "terrorist and extremist orientation." The list of articles of the Criminal Code is expanding, for which responsibility comes from the age of 14. New articles are introduced into the Criminal Code, in particular, on the report of the crime. Missionary activity is limited.

The authors of the package are the head of the State Duma Committee on the Safety of Unitedinated Irina Yarovka and her one -party man, chairman of the defense of the defense of the defense of the defense of Viktor Ozerov. Also in the preparation of bills were participated by the uninterous deputies Alexei Pushkov and Nadezhda Gerasimova. The package was prepared at the end of last year . He was brought to the State Duma on April 7 .
