Struggling to ignore a legal requirement in cyberspace / Imad excusers, how to confront the parliament

According to the economic group of Tasnim news agency; There has been a lot of news, comments and comments about the electronic trust symbol or the same image in recent months; From the legal obligation and the executive interaction of the officials of the Ministry of Economy, the Central Bank and the Ministry of Silence to the media pressure and the complaints of some start-up virtual businesses based on the difficulties of obtaining this image!

Evidence shows that not only is the symbol of e-trust a legally available and hassle-free requirement, but it also forms part of the customer’s reputation as a veteran online retailer. The e-commerce policymaker, due to the importance of minimal authentication of virtual businesses, considers it as the primary factor to reduce the risk of transactions in the context of virtual platforms.

Although clearing virtual exchanges of all kinds of economic offenses such as fraud, money laundering and financing criminal acts is a favorable point for governments in the face of the growing digital economy, the symbol of electronic trust can be considered one of the tools to reduce such ominous and damaging events. For the sake of brevity and minimization of the acquisition process (reduction of the issuance time of a single star from 5 days to less than 24 hours), it is thought-provoking!

Because the evidence indicates an increase in crime in cyberspace with more people accepting virtual sales platforms and increasing the number and deepening of online sales platforms. This issue doubles the need for continuous and more effective monitoring of online sales platforms, especially their financial transactions. Evidence of this claim is the statement of Colonel Ali Mohammad Rajabi, head of the FATA Police Cybercrime Detection and Prevention Center.

FATA Police: Internet scams increase by 40%

Ali Mohammad Rajabi recently, referring to the 40 percent increase in cyber fraud over the same period last year, said: Commodity, sale of goods and delivery of low quality goods and sale of illegal goods!

Minister Samat: It takes 10 minutes to get this starless star

Regarding the need to monitor financial transactions in online stores, in December of this year, Fatemi Amin, Minister of Industry, Mines and Trade, stated in a television program that this symbol needs to be monitored as a standard: To have electronic payment, they must have this. Of course, starless embedding for small businesses is issued quickly and within 10 minutes, and the issuance of a starred embedding takes a maximum of one day. “This period shows that the requirement to obtain this symbol does not stop businesses.”

Also, Moharremian, Deputy Governor of New Technologies of the Central Bank, in a statement, referring to the criticism of some economic activists regarding the impediment to the requirement of this document for small businesses, said: The fight against money laundering has been implemented. Micro-businesses can obtain this star-studded image online and only by providing their identity and domain information. “Obtaining this type of image is possible in the shortest time and with the least information.”

“Getting this badge is one of the tools to identify the eligibility of businesses in cyberspace,” he said.

It is worth mentioning that one of the types of licenses of this symbol is the symbol without a star. In order to support small businesses and facilitate the licensing process of emerging sales platforms in cyberspace, the E-Commerce Development Center has designed a star symbol, and obtaining this type of symbol requires minimal time and minimal information. It is imperative that the focus is on businesses that benefit from payment gateways to prevent economic irregularities.

This image is awarded for the purpose of organizing, authenticating and qualifying virtual businesses, and the leveling of this image is divided into three categories: temporary, single-star and two-star. The higher the number of stars, the higher the level of trust and better performance of the online store.

Experts: The importance of intelligently monitoring the flow of money, goods and services

Experts believe that the more transparent financial transactions in the cyberspace platform for the regulator, in addition to intelligent monitoring of money and goods flows from this platform, the risk of financing criminal activities in cyberspace is reduced and users are more comfortable with their bank account information and liquidity. Are engaged in shopping from virtual platforms.

Regardless of the fact that the Cabinet, upon the proposal of the Supreme Council for Combating and Preventing Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing and the approval of the Head of the Judiciary and pursuant to Article (14) of the Anti-Money Laundering Law, requires businesses in cyberspace to receive the e-Trust symbol. As a rule, well-known and experienced businesses in this field, by maintaining the trust and credibility of buying and selling goods and services in the virtual context, should be a strong advocate of transparency and monitoring algorithms during the entry of start-up businesses.

Did some members of parliament play ?!

Despite the mentioned needs regarding the transparency of transactions in cyberspace and the minimal process of obtaining this image, studies show that the media pressures and consultations of the opponents of transparency have put the parliament against the implementation of the law. A group that has instilled in some members of parliament the belief that the imperative is a kind of stoning of the executive apparatus and sees the development of virtual businesses as a separate channel from government oversight policies.

In this regard, in recent days, the reaction of a member of parliament to the imposition of this image on his virtual page re-highlighted the margins around the electronic trust symbol. Where Mojtaba Tavangar, a member of the Economic Commission of the Eleventh Majlis, unveiled a question from the Minister of Industry, Mines and Trade based on what is called the despair of elite and young entrepreneurs following the requirement of this!

The published content shows that the implementation of an executive regulation in the fight against money laundering and the bedrock of fraud and economic criminal acts is interpreted as “gentlemen’s insistence on forcing this and creating anxiety and despair in Internet businesses” and is perceived as an intervention. Its tastes have been made only by the Minister of Silence in this regard.

However, the main custodian of the central bank’s obligation is the country’s monetary policy maker, and the informal complaints of some, especially in cyberspace, about such transparency measures can only be interpreted on suspicion of misuse of payment gateways and bank account information of clients.

With these interpretations, the increase in political costs in exchange for the transparent actions of the executive apparatus will eventually lead to MPs criticizing the central bank’s performance and forming long queues at FATA police headquarters to deal with numerous cyber fraud cases. A scenario that is still remembered in the minds of gambling and gambling sites.
