The State Duma in first reading approved a bill on the regulation of recommender algorithms. It is assumed that Roskomnadzor will be able to block platforms using algorithms in case of violation of the law, for example, if they did not publish the rules for their application and did not talk about methods of collecting and analyzing user data.
