The State Duma decided to fight the infogypsies

An inter-factional working group will be created in the State Duma, which will develop laws regulating the activities of coaches, business coaches and personal growth coaches, who are called “infogypsies” in the Internet environment. This was announced by one of the authors of the idea, MP Yana Lantratova.

“Unfortunately, at present, this area is not regulated in any way: it is almost impossible to bring fraudsters to justice. Today, the Antimonopoly Service or Rospotrebnadzor do not have mechanisms to deal with such types of activities, as well as criteria for the quality of an information product. At the same time, we are talking about quite large amounts that people invest, sometimes getting into loans, ”the deputy explained on her Facebook page.

According to her, the market for "marathons of success" is estimated at 2 billion rubles. Representatives of Rosobrnadzor, the Ministry of Higher Education and Science, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the UK, the Prosecutor's Office, the Ministry of Economic Development, the Central Bank and the Ministry of Labor are invited to the working group.

“We analyzed the content of these marathons - basically these are primitive tips, and hastily snatched from the first links of search engines. But the most important thing is that these marathons can be not only absolutely useless, but also pose a danger to people's lives, ”said Lantratova.

Earlier it was reported that 56% of Russians at least once in their lives turned to the services of coaches or business coaches. At the same time, only 21% of them checked whether the coach had a diploma of education before the session.
