«Twitter does not oblige to provide information about the attendance of accounts” – Kommersant

Twitter ignores requests Roskomnadzora provide information about the attendance of pages Russian bloggers. Press Secretary Office said that the social network has not responded to 108 requests submitted last year. Although Twitter is not obliged to provide such information, he would have to make concessions in order to stay in Russia, confident sides “Kommersant FM”.

Roscomnadzor requires Twitter to disclose information of Russian bloggers. Office has sent over 108 relevant queries. About it, “Kommersant FM” spokesman Vadim Roskomnadzora Ampelonsky. However, according to him, the Russian representative Twitter, as well as the company’s headquarters in the United States in every way delay the fulfillment of its obligations. Vadim Ampelonsky stressed that the US microblogging service is not the first time ignores the requirements of Russian legislation. We are talking about the introduction of a special register of blogs related to the calls for unrest, as well as the pages of an extremist nature. Roscomnadzor ready for dialogue and seek respect from social networks to the Russian legislation, said Vadim Ampelonsky.

“108 requests at the end of 2014 – our requests for disclosure of attendance for popular accounts Enforcement Act of bloggers. was not satisfied neither. We strongly enough managed to move in the direction that is associated with the removal of illegal information: child pornography, information about suicide, information on production methods, use of drugs. Of the 55 requests under this category were all satisfied. A little different situation with our request to delete information in the execution of anti-extremist legislation. It has been 111 requests sent to Twitter, 50 were satisfied, “- said Ampelonsky.

Act bloggers was adopted in May last year. The document obliges the authors of Internet resources – websites, blogs – with an audience of more than 3 thousand. Users a day, in Roskomnadzor register. In addition, the law imposes numerous restrictions on the content of the blogs. Twitter explained some of his failures Russian authorities to respect freedom of speech. In this case, the company stressed that rely on cooperation with Russia. The actions of the US company traced the policy of double standards, I am sure the Deputy Director of the Russian Association of Electronic Communications Sergey Grebennikov.

“When Twitter representatives come to Russia, they are trying to meet and promise full interoperability but as soon as the question relates to violations of the law of the Russian Federation, here Twitter does not respond to any inquiries. You must make friends and interact with everyone, especially to comply with the legislation of the country where they are trying to work. When Twitter blocks that considers it necessary, in the territory of Russian Federation – is, of course, very bad practice and could end up very sad. The current legislation of the Russian Federation has the ability to lock resources that do not comply with the requirements of the law. It is possible to lock on the IP-address, URL-y and specific LINK “- said Grebennikov .

In December Roscomnadzor sent some TV and radio requests to provide data on attendance of their blogs when Twitter. In particular, please touched the chief editor of “Echo of Moscow” Alexei Venediktov, as well as presenters Tina Kandelaki, Vladimir Solovyov, Ivan Urgant and Paul Will. According to “Kommersant FM” representative office Vadim Ampelonsky, refused to cooperate only journalist Aleksey Venediktov. He explained his decision by saying that he does not care what the attendance at his blog, stressed Ampelonsky. Conflicts between Roscomnadzor and Twitter in the legal field is absolutely logical, said media manager, blogger Anton Spout.

“Twitter will not oblige anyone to provide information about the attendance of accounts. What are the legal grounds in the law of the United States to this internal information is transmitted to third parties? In some things the legislation of Russia and the United States the same: on issues such as violence, terrorism, child pornography, Twitter naturally goes to meet. In the Russian legislation is “blasphemy”, ” insulting a government official “- in this corpus delicti Twitter will not cooperate,” – said spout on the air, “Kommersant FM”.

Since January this year in the Russian law came into force on storage of personal data. The document obliges companies owning including email services, social networks and search engines, with the September 2016 Russian store personal data of users only on servers in Russia.
