According to Davankov, with the appearance of such a function in the markets, the buyer will be able to independently determine the amount of the limit, the category of goods and the validity period of the self-restriction.
“The implementation of this initiative can help people suffering from addiction to impulsive and uncontrolled online shopping and will allow them to avoid financial problems,” says Davankov.
The deputy added that his initiative arose from the problems of uncontrolled consumption and dependence on online purchases that many buyers have experienced due to the growing popularity of the markets.
It is proposed to amend the draft federal law “On the platform economy in the Russian Federation”, which is being prepared by the Ministry of Economic Development, RBC noted.
Previously, in February 2024, the State Duma approved in second and third reading a law on the establishment by Russians of a self-prohibition of granting loans and borrowings. The Russians will be able to prohibit the granting of loans to banks and microfinance organizations. This can be done through Gosuslugi from March 1, 2025, through the MFC – from September 1, 2025.
