Roskomnadzor is in touch: the agency wants to get access to all phone calls. Comment by Denis Kosenkov for Vesti FM radio station.

"Who is talking?": Roskomnadzor wants to know about every telephone connection in Russia – what number was a call made or a message sent, who owns these numbers (including the date of birth and place of registration of a citizen, and in the case of legal entities –information as to the registration of an enterprise or institution). Operators will be required to send such information to the agency upon request. This will help, according to the authors of the idea, to fight the so-called ‘gray’ SIM cards, often used by fraudsters posing as bank employees, or hooligans, reporting, for example, about the mining of certain buildings. Will the secret of communication, protected by law, be revealed after the achievement of these noble goals? Comment by Denis Kosenkov for the Vesti FM Radio station.
