Roskomnadzor ordered Opera developers to transfer to the FSB user data

Roskomnadzor registered the Opera Software AS blog in the register of information distribution organizers. It is reported by Roskomsvoboda.

As the project recalls, this means that the company will be obliged to store user data and provide them at the request of special services.

Roem.ru emphasizes that we are only talking about sites on blogs.opera.com. In the registry, writes the publication, there is no Opera browser or other browsers.

Also in the register were Vimeo video hosting and SNAAPPY messenger, adds RoskomSvoboda.

VC.ru indicates that in the rules for the protection of personal data of Opera there is a warning about the possibility of transmitting users data to the authorities in accordance with the laws of certain states. For example, by court order.

Later, Roskomnadzor confirmed the information about entering Vimeo and Opera Software AS in the register. At the same time, it turned out that the department removed the block from the website of the Chinese WeChat Messenger, introduced on May 5.

From July 1, 2018, the law should enter into force in Russia, according to which companies included in the register will be required to transfer user data at the request of power structures. If they do not do this, their work in Russia will be limited. Such norms are contained in the package of “anti -terrorism” laws of Irina Yarova.
