📋 Tender Overview
At a plenary session, the State Duma adopted in the second and third readings a bill on extrajudicial blocking of resources that disseminate information about the provision of illegal services in the field of migration.
The amendments supplement the law "On information, information technologies and protection of information". Thus, proposals to provide illegal services in the field of migration, as well as methods of organizing illegal migration will be recognized as information distributed in violation of the law.
If such information is found on the Internet, the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation or his deputies will contact Roskomnadzor (RKN) with a request to take measures to restrict access to information resources. The basis for such an appeal to RKN may include notifications from federal government bodies, government bodies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and local governments, as well as from organizations or citizens.
The document was submitted to the State Duma earlier in October in a package of bills aimed at improving migration policy. The authors of the initiative were a group of deputies headed by the Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin and the Vice Speaker of the House of Parliament Irina Yarovaya, who heads the Duma Commission on Migration Policy. As Volodin noted earlier, the volume of the illegal market of services for migrants today "amounts to hundreds of billions of rubles."
Initially, the draft proposed to establish that the dissemination of information containing proposals to provide illegal services in the field of migration, as well as methods of organizing illegal migration, would be the basis for adding the resource to the unified register of prohibited information of Roskomnadzor. At the same time, it was proposed to oblige social network owners to monitor content to identify such information. However, Yarovaya noted, during the work on the document for the second reading, the deputies made a clarification, "which already specifically prescribes that it is the prosecutor's office, as part of the ongoing monitoring they implement, and also on the basis of citizens' appeals, that can block resources with criminal content that disseminate information about organizing illegal migration."
"Thus, we are building a structure that means that law enforcement will have the principle of two keys at once: on the one hand, they will immediately block content and cut off the group of illegal migrants who are looking for such interaction, on the other hand, they will immediately begin operational development of those who create this content and who offer criminal services," Yarovaya told journalists.
