T specialists and relevant authorities are discussing the introduction of new technology in the Russian Federation.

In the future, access to secure Internet will require registration with a passport. The user will receive a unique code.
This was announced on the air of the radio station « Moscow » by Andrei Svintsov, deputy chairman of the State Duma committee on information policy, information technology and communications.

According to Svintsov, soon we will come to the point that it is more profitable for us to have absolutely transparent Internet. There will be some personal identifier that will indicate who is hiding behind this account. A certain code will be assigned through which special services will always be able to determine the owner of this account.

According to him, after consultations with experts from the Moscow State University of the Ministry of Digital, we will have to change the technology of the Internet. Today's technology, when it is possible to connect to the network with anonymous devices, will be replaced. It will look like this: you get into the secure Internet only after pre-registration in it. You register with a passport, get an analogue of a domain name and with this identifier you go to the protected part of the Internet from anywhere in the world. There will be a single operator that manages all our personal data.

At the same time, Svintsov noted that unprotected Internet will also remain, but users themselves will be responsible for their personal data.

Earlier, deputy Alexander Khinstein said that all negative content can be removed from the network only if the « Internet is organized using the » passport, thereby making it absolutely safe.

The Internet with a — passport is not a new idea that has already been implemented or is being discussed in some countries of the world. For example, in China there is a social credit system that connects online activity of citizens with their personal data and evaluates their behavior according to different criteria.

In India, there is the Aadhaar project, which provides each citizen with a unique 12-digit identification number associated with his biometric data, such as fingerprints and eye iris scan. This number is used to access various public and private services, including bank accounts, mobile communications and the Internet. However, the project is criticized for violating the right to confidentiality and for being vulnerable to hacker attacks.

Iran has a « White Internet » system that allows citizens to access certain sites approved by the government without the need to use VPN or proxy servers. To register with this system, users must provide their personal data, including a passport number, email address and phone number. Human rights organizations criticize this system for restricting freedom of information and for the possibility of monitoring the online activity of citizens.

The purpose of such technologies is to increase security, combat terrorism, crime and fraud, as well as improve the quality of public services. However, they also carry risks to human rights, freedom of speech and personal confidentiality. Questions arise about how to protect citizens' data from leaks, abuses and hacker attacks, how to control the actions of state bodies and private companies that have access to these data, how to ensure compliance with the principles of transparency, fairness and responsibility in the use of such technologies.

Therefore, it is important that the introduction of the Internet under a passport in the Russian Federation be accompanied by a wide public dialogue, taking into account international standards and best practices, as well as developing a regulatory framework, which would guarantee the protection of the rights and interests of citizens in a digital environment.
