The Russian Federation adopted a law on the storage and transmission of information by technological network operators with an autonomous system number

In 2021, the State Duma was preparing a law obliging businesses to store information transmitted over internal technological communication networks and provide it to law enforcement agencies for three years. On March 18, 2023, the law was signed by the President of Russia, and it will come into force on September 1, 2023.

The law obliges owners of technological communication networks with an autonomous system number to store information, as well as provide it to law enforcement agencies. The document has already been published on the official portal of legal information.

According to the adopted law, within three years in the territory of the Russian Federation it is necessary to store voice information, text messages, images, video sounds or other messages in technological networks. In addition, it is necessary to store data on the facts of the transfer of this information.

The document states that technological information operators must provide the voiced information for operational-search activities to the competent authorities. Such obligations are already legislated for conventional telecom operators.

Under the new law, the government of the Russian Federation is authorized to determine the composition of this information, the procedure for its issuance and the procedure for working between the owners of technical networks and authorized bodies.
