MOSCOW, January 23. /TASS/. Russian presidential adviser on internet development German Klimenko said in an interview with the Komsomolskaya Pravda daily that the state has the right of access to personal data of citizens.

"Now they are beginning to say that the state, getting access to our personal information, will start selling the data," Klimenko said.

"But the state, if it suspects you of something, can get access to wiretapping through court even now. No one is arguing - there will still be problems. But the position is clear: the state has the right to listen in," he said.
