Digital Rights Mapping, Part II. Right to access information

TL; DR : Experts share their vision of the problems in Russia related to digital rights to access information.

On September 12 and 13, the Greenhouse of Social Technologies and RosKomSvoboda are holding a hackathon on digital citizenship and digital rights demhack.ru. In anticipation of the event, the organizers are publishing a second article on mapping the digital rights problem space so that you can find an interesting challenge for yourself. The first article on the right to publish digital works can be found here .

Right to access information

Let's fix the definition. According to Russian law , “ Citizens (individuals) and organizations (legal entities) (hereinafter referred to as organizations) have the right to search for and receive any information in any form and from any source, subject to the requirements established by this Federal Law and other federal laws. "

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), where Russia never entered, but which unites 37 of the most economically developed countries of the world (let's call this version "conditionally Western") formulates the right more broadly: “ The right to access to information guarantees access to everyone all information and documents related to public life, regardless of the status of the person concerned and the purpose of obtaining this information . "

At the moment, government organizations manage a fairly serious part of human life, have access to a large amount of resources, determine the living conditions of billions of people, and collect large amounts of data. To ensure control over such organizations, philosophers, politicians and activists have created a moral, philosophical and legal framework in which information and access to it are key elements.

Within the framework of the round table, we highlighted the following topics:

1. Access to information from government sources;

2. Access to information from non-state, but state-controlled sources (museums, libraries, archives);

3. Access to all information in general;

4. Freedom to search for information (search engines);

5. Freedom to impart information.
