About Principles of Forming of Legal Mechanism of Citizens Digital Profiling

Abstract

In the article the analysis of stages of development of citizens digital profiling in Russia is carried out. Based on the analysis the authors draw the conclusions on forming of legal mechanism according to principles in reliance on main functions of state. In particular, social function stipulates that categorization of citizens is allowed only for estimation of need in material assistance, supplementary guarantees and favours. Economical function includes execution of financial control and monitoring, stimulation of economical activity of citizens. Law enforcement function is focused on prevention and early recognition of legal wrongs including in digital sphere. Human rights function is realized in actions to stem violations of rights and legitimate interests including electoral. An idea of commercialization of digital profiling, its perception as a product aimed to risk minimization during rendering of financial and other services poses a danger of discrimination of citizens and criminalization of this sphere.
