The CPRF’s Digital Bill of Rights: Will the Law on Online Anonymity Pass?
Volume~$195
YES chance
DescriptionThe Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF) faction has introduced an ambitious bill on “Citizens’ Digital Rights” to the State Duma, which proposes enshrining in law the right to anonymity, freedom of expression on the internet, and uninterrupted access to the internet. The most controversial provision is the attempt to restrict extrajudicial blocking of websites: lawmakers propose prohibiting internet shutdowns lasting more than two days, allowing them only by court order or in the event of a confirmed cyberattack. Despite the progressive nature of these ideas, sources within the State Duma assess the bill’s chances as extremely low, pointing out that it directly contradicts existing regulations on the sovereign Russian internet and the powers of regulators. Will this bill become the subject of a genuine debate in the relevant committee, or will it be rejected right from the start?
ConditionsYes: if, by May 31, 2026, the bill on guarantees of citizens’ digital rights (introduced by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation) is officially adopted by the State Duma in its first reading.
No: if, by May 31, 2026, the bill is officially rejected, returned to its authors, or not considered.
