This article examines the phenomenon of Roskomnadzor’s so-called webinar law — a new hybrid regulatory mechanism for personal data circulation that has emerged at the intersection of regulations, official clarifications, and soft law. The author analyses the practice of clarifications provided by the regulator during public online events becoming de facto binding on personal data operators, despite the lack of formal legal force. The article examines the paradoxical situation where, in order to minimise administrative risks, entities are forced to rely not only on the law but also on informal positions conveyed during webinars. The article raises fundamental questions about the limits of administrative discretion, the problem of legal certainty, and adherence to the principles of legality and predictability in the context of digitalisation of public administration. It concludes that webinar law, while flexible, creates the risk of developing a shadow regulatory framework that circumvents established rulemaking procedures.
