The Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation proposes to collect the biometrics of Russians to replenish the base of the “Unified Biometric System” (UBS) without their consent. This is reported “Kommersant” with reference to the bill proposed by the department.

This consent is explained by the fact that the unloading of biometrics from the UBS to other information systems is carried out without the consent of citizens. Such amendments to the law “On Information” were adopted on July 6, so you can upload them to the EBS. The requirement for biometrics is also simplified. If earlier it was necessary that the downloaded “cast” contain a sample of the voice and a cast of the face, now only some of this.

The status of the state information system EBS, managed by Rostelecom, received in 2021. The company must fill the system with biometric samples. The Ministry of Digital Development of the Russian Federation hopes that the number of images will increase to 70 million units, although from 2019 to the beginning of 2022, the system contained only 236.4 thousand samples. Therefore, it is necessary to simplify the process of obtaining biometrics.

According to the fear of many experts, the creation of such a system entails huge risks. For example, storing a huge amount of data about a person can make a leak catastrophic.

There is also a fear that the EBS will be filled chaotically and continuously. Sources can be surveillance cameras in the subway, MFC, banks and other financial institutions. And since a third-party organization can collect biometrics, but it cannot share it with other similar organizations, the replenishment of the EBS can be a huge amount of duplicate information.
