Russia, a country already subject to oversight, proposed a new anti-terrorism legislation that would require Internet service providers metadata (ISP) customer store up to three years and to store the actual content of communications with clients for up to six months. This data would then be available to state officials for use in the fight against terrorism.
Current laws provide that telecommunications companies store metadata only, and for a period of six months. So this is a huge increase in the duration and type of stored content. The law also provides for prison sentences for Internet users who are accused of "incitement to terrorism" online.
rulesIn addition to this highly invasive proposal, Senator Yelena Mizulina Russia also proposes forcing communications providers such as WhatsApp and Telegram build a way for authorities to decrypt encrypted messages sent across platforms - or an encryption backdoor. The reason is that encryption allows people to communicate for the crime:
"Teens are indoctrinated in closed groups on the Internet to murder police officers, a practice protected by encryption Mizulina then more. away. "And" "we should perhaps revisit the idea of pre-filtering [messages]," she said. "We can not watch in silence about it."
If a vote the Act came into force in July 2018.
Unfortunately, this is far from the first time that Russia has pushed invasive front of surveillance. at the end of 2015, they adopted a law of conservation of scary similar data. many Internet companies and activists speak out against this bill because it threatens free speech and free expression. opponents also argue that the rules allow monitoring and prohibit strong encryption which is so important for people to access. Edward Snowden joined the conversation, and spoke against this law. He referred to the proposed rules that the legislation "big brother" and an "unjustifiable violation of rights" will hurt "all Russians."
A Golden Frog, we believe in high security and strong encryption. We believe that everyone has the right to privacy, and should not be monitored by the government
