Digital Business and the Law

The Russian legal system, which has made a great leap in terms of acknowledging and regulating the digital environment, still does not sufficiently provide legal conditions that are conducive for the introduction of information (digital) technologies in business activities. Russia does not have any clear and effective regulation of the platform economy or a well-developed digital trust environment. The current legal norms do not fully take into account the specifics of working in the digital environment, neither in terms of the relevant subjects of legal relations, nor the use of electronic (digital) documents. In this regard, Russia needs to make theoretically grounded improvements to its legislation regulating the legal status of data (electronic, digital) entities, the legal relations used to mediate them, and the use of electronic (digital) evidence. What recommendations could improve information (digital) legislation in Russia in terms of the activities of business entities related to the legal status of data arrays and their circulation, as well as multimedia and virtual products? What are some of the specific aspects of regulating remote access as a means to identify subjects and objects of digital legal relations? How is the mechanism being structurally introduced of having an electronic legal address and an email address as a mandatory requirement and a method of communication with business entities? How should electronic (digital) evidence be properly used to protect the rights of individuals and legal entities? What kind of legal models of interaction should be used by the government and digital business?
