«The situation in Russia is complicated by the presence of legislative gaps and the formalism of the process» — Tatiana Tereshchenko for RBC Petersburg
Imperfection of Russian legislation, vague wording of laws and illegibility of law enforcement agencies often lead to the fact that an attempt to digitize your business ends in a criminal case.
Tatiana Tereshchenko, head of the analytical division of "Prime Advice" give a comment about how we should use new technologies so as not to get a prison sentence:
The question of whether the technology will bring to good or will again turn out in the format of "wanted as best — it turned out as always", are asked around the world. In the French division of IKEA, some employees lost their jobs, and some were convicted for what they collected information about employees and job seekers of the company with the help of the involved security service. As a result — charge of espionage and illegal access to the police database. The Walmart supermarket chain used Lockheed Martin technology to analyze social networks, employee blogs, and see if they were going to strike. This led to legal proceedings.
There is a complex and multifaceted problem. On the one hand, transparency requirements to ensure universal security. On the other hand — material benefits as privacy and confidentiality of correspondence are guaranteed by all the constitutions of the world. The situation in Russia is complicated by the presence of legislative gaps and some formalism of the process.
