In Orthodox churches and mosques, Wi-Fi “cleared of extremism” will be launched

A wireless Internet will appear in Russian Orthodox churches and mosques, but access in it will be opened only to resources that do not contain extremist appeals. According to TASS, this was announced by the deputy chairman of the Synodal Department for the relationship between the Church and the Society of the Moscow Patriarchate, the head of the Secretariat of the Inter -religious Council of Russia, Roman Bogdasarov.

According to the priest, before the launch of the “purified Wi-Fi” will be tested at the sites in Skolkovo, as well as on the territory of temples and mosques. "We are not going to limit any access to Internet resources, only to remove everything that under the guise of good actually gives a person evil," Bogdasarov said.

According to the director of the Crystal Protezn company, which will take up the creation of the "religious" Wi-Fi, Alexei Protopopov, "filtering will occur after coordination with representatives of all traditional religions of Russia."

“So far there is no particular list of sites. Now there is only a development of a concept for the selection of resources. If the information does not bother the feelings of believers, then it will be added to the catalog according to this principle of semi -automatic and manual selection of information,” he said. Protopopov added that all the necessary documents are being prepared and coordination with religious organizations is being prepared.

"How will it be long? I think that in the near future. We had experience in working in the Sochi Olympics, we equipped with Internet patterns of prayer premises. We will offer exactly the same concept for the World Cup in 2018," the specialist said.

At the end of October, the chairman of the Commission of the Public Chamber on Social Policy, Labor Relations and the Quality of Life Vladimir Slepak in a letter addressed to Patriarch Kirill proposed introducing the “Orthodox standard” of products and services in Russia by analogy with Kashrut and halal.

"This approach will allow you to effectively implement one of the important principles - to confirm not only the high quality and safety of products, but also to evaluate its positive impact on the spiritual and physical health of people," Slepak said. He also proposes to certify the activities of travel agencies involved in the organization of pilgrimage tours. They should be evaluated not only from the point of view of the quality of the provision of services, but the compliance with the Orthodox approach to the organization and conduct of pilgrimage.
