The State Duma is preparing a bill providing for blocking the account in social networks or any other page on the Internet for obscene vocabulary, not remote during the day, Izvestia reports with reference to the head of the Family, Women and Children Committee Elena Mizulin.
The law "on the protection of children from information causing their health and development" adopted in 2010 already provides for the creation of a register of Internet sites containing prohibited information. According to the law, prohibited information includes only child pornography, drug promotion, as well as calls for suicide. The site providers are engaged in blocking the sites - either immediately after the proper conclusion of Roskomnadzor, or the court decision. But usually restriction of access to the site is an extreme measure. It is used only if the owners of the resource do not delete prohibited information within a day.
Mizulin insists that the list of prohibited information needs to be expanded.
“This is caused by the fact that we receive a lot of appeals from parents, that overly a lot of obsceneity in Internet publications and social networks that children visit. Parents are concerned that children may have the wrong stereotype, that obscenely abuse is normal vocabulary, although this is far from the case,” Mizulina said.
In order to protect children from obscene vocabulary on the Internet, the deputy proposes to more thoroughly work out the legal framework and amends existing legislation. Sites, forums and pages in social networks with obscenity posts that are not deleted within a day, according to the idea of parliamentarians should be blacklisted and blocked.
“We are, of course, not about the entire social network, but about the pages of guilty users,” Elena Mizulina emphasized.
In March of this year, the president signed amendments to the Law "On Media" and the Code of Administrative Offenses. According to the changes, the media that allowed obscene vocabulary establishes administrative responsibility - a fine of 2000 to 3000 rubles for citizens, from 5,000 to 20,000 rubles for officials, as well as from 20,000 to 200,000 rubles for legal entities. However, this law did not apply to all sites, but only to those that are the media.
The initiative of Mizulina is that absolutely all sites should be responsible for obscene vocabulary.
