Yandex NV, Russia’s biggest search engine, said a draft law that would let people demand the removal of some personal information from the Internet violates constitutional freedoms.
The bill would give people the right to have information that’s considered “unreliable” or is more than three years old struck from online search results. Search-engine operators would have three days to comply with requests or risk fines of as much as 3 million rubles ($55,000) under the proposals submitted to the State Duma, the lower house of parliament.
