“Unfortunately, ensuring total security in the digital world has its opposite side, its price: it is a threat of loss of privacy, that is, in fact, loss of privacy,” said the Prime Minister during the Open Innovations forum.

As Medvedev noted, at present "the line between private and public space is very thin, sometimes it is impossible to measure it."

“Literally any step of a person, his economic and social actions are recorded by the devices surrounding us ... And this creates risks of restricting freedoms, risks of manipulating a person. And it is necessary to build this very fragile balance between security and guarantees of protection of privacy, ”he stressed.

In July 2018, Russian leader Vladimir Putin called for the development of uniform international “rules of the game” in the digital field.
