State Services has launched a form for registering bloggers. However, there are no regulatory documents about it
According to statement of the Ministry of Digital Developmenton the State Services website a form appeared about registering 10,000 bloggers.
At the same time, on the website for public discussion of regulations there are four documents regulating how it should work. All these documents have not been accepted by the Government at the moment:
About the procedure for placing markings on a blogger’s page: http://regulation.gov.ru/p/150809
On providing information about a blogger to Roskomnadzor by a social network: http://regulation.gov.ru/p/150806
On the provision of information by a blogger to Roskomnadzor: http://regulation.gov.ru/p/150808
About maintaining a register of bloggers: http://regulation.gov.ru/p/151326
I note that the information in the regulations contradicts the statement of the Ministry of Digital Development. For example, in a statement from the Ministry of Digital Development, the marking must be a link to an entry in the registry, and in the absence of registration, it will be prohibited to repost posts. The law and the by-laws that have not yet been adopted contain a ban on any dissemination of information from unregistered bloggers (not just reposts), and the marking must bear the A+ symbol.
It is not clear whether other regulatory documents were adopted (but they were not published anywhere), or whether the form on the State Services does not yet have legal force.
In addition, it is not entirely clear what is considered a personal page. Based on the law, this is a page from one of 15 social networks from the Russian register of social networks, but this is not indicated in the explanations of the Ministry of Digital Development.
The law also raises questions:
If an unregistered blogger wrote “the sky is blue” and “Putin is the president” – does this mean that all registered bloggers are prohibited from disseminating this information?
If an unregistered blogger with more than 10,000 subscribers was mentioned by a blogger with less than 10,000 subscribers, and a registered blogger with more than 10,000 subscribers mentioned him, is this legal or not?
Many media outlets maintain a blog at the same time. The law on bloggers does not apply to the media. Does this mean that the media have the right to quote any bloggers, but the same media, but published on a page in VK, cannot quote them?
If a foreign blogger who has more than 10,000 subscribers is not included in the Russian register of bloggers, which he has no idea about, can this blogger be quoted by our blogger, or not?
