RESTRICTING ACCESS TO MIRROR SITES OF BLOCKED WEBSITES WITH PIRATED CONTENTS: WHAT’S NEW FROM OCTOBER 1, 2024

On October 1, 2024, the June amendments to the Law on Information, Information Technology and Information Protection come into force, aimed at optimising the procedure for restricting access to copies of "pirated" websites that have already been blocked due to repeated and illegal posting of information containing items of copyright and (or) related rights, or information necessary to obtain them using information and telecommunications networks, including the Internet. 

From October 1, 2024, Roskomnadzor will authorised to make such reasoned decisions. 
The changes also include the obligation to stop displaying "mirror" websites in the search engine, which is applicable both to all search engine operators operating in the Russian Internet segment and to search engine operators distributing advertising whose intended audience are consumers located on the territory of the Russian Federation. 
Moreover, starting from October 1, 2024, all search engine operators operating in the Russian segment of the Internet (regardless of their distribution of advertising to Russian consumers) will be subject to the requirement to ensure the "right to be forgotten" on the network (this means that operators must remove, at the request of an individual, links to unwanted details of such individual).
