The draft law aims to raise liability for non-compliance and provides amendments to Russian administrative code.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">According to proposed <a href=\"https:\/\/sozd.duma.gov.ru\/bill\/729516-7\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">amendments<\/a> the fine for natural persons raised up to 50 thousands Roubles, for officers fines raised up to half of million Roubles and for legal entities fines raised up to 6 million Roubles. Such fines are provided in a case if the non-compliance was in first time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">For the second time the fines are much higher. For natural persons the fine is up to 100 thousands Roubles, for officer the fine is up to one million Roubles and for legal entity the fine is up to 18 million Roubles. If the person runs business activity in the form of private enterprise the liability for such person is equal with liability for legal entities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Such high fines should stimulate companies to localize personal data of Russians in Russian territory. For messengers there are also amendments. If the messenger does not provide Russian special authorities with data on communications within the network the fine has been raised up to 6 million Roubles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Data on communications in relation to messenger means opportunity for Russian special authorities to read messages of users they send each other. For search engines there is also higher liability. If the search engine refuses excluding URLs to resources forbidden in Russia, the fine has raised up to 5 million Roubles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The new hard measures mostly aimed to foreign companies like Google, Facebook or Twitter.
