MOSCOW, January 4 The Institute of Legislation and Comparative Law under the Government of the Russian Federation proposes to introduce joint liability for owners of digital resources for the promotion and replication of unfair, deliberately false information, the director of the Institute said Talia Khabrieva.
“The fact is that unacceptable digital coding of user behavior is now gaining momentum. And the prohibitions that we could previously use do not work, that is, we need some new ones. We have a proposal in this regard to protect the rights of users and entrepreneurs that use digital platforms: introduce joint responsibility for the owners of digital resources for promoting this dishonest and sometimes even deliberately false information, replicating it and bringing it to users,” Khabrieva said at a meeting with Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.
She noted that the institute also has a new proposal for a mechanism for collecting digital property.
The head of the Cabinet of Ministers responded by noting that there are many nuances in this area. Mishustin agreed that now the tools that previously worked, “due to the emergence of new digital realities, digital assets in law enforcement will be simply useless.”
«And it would be right, of course, to work out feedback with colleagues from the information technology sector. Minister Maksut Shadayev will help with this. It seems to me that it would be reasonable for the industry to make such decisions,» the head of the Cabinet added.< br />
