United Russia Vitaly Milonov introduced a bill "On the legal regulation of social networks" to the State Duma. The document is published in the basis of the legislative initiatives of the lower house.

Milonov is anticipating to prohibit children under 14 years of age "regardless of citizenship" to use social networks. It is assumed that registration will have to be carried out by identification, which allows us to establish the age of the user. In addition, Uneneros proposes to prohibit registering in social networks under fictional names.

In addition, Milonov proposes to prohibit the distribution of correspondence screenshots in social networks without the permission of the persons participating in it.

"The social network is a special virtual world in which a person spends a significant part of his life, comes into contact with other people, and, in fact, performs all the same actions as in the real world. It is impossible to allow this sphere to remain outlawed. Especially now, when the increasing number of users of social networks becomes easy prey for various kinds of scammers," the explanatory note says.

“This initiative was not discussed with anyone: neither in the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, nor in the United Russia faction. I do not think that prohibitive measures in social networks are the right tool,” said Yevgeny Revenko, deputy secretary of the Secretary of the General Council of the party. “Excessive barriers will lead to other communication methods very quickly. As a rule, measures of this kind. They require careful study, comprehensive discussion, including with the younger generation. "

Messages about the preparation of the law on ban on children under 14 years of age appeared in early April. On Monday, a study by VTsIOM was published , which states that 62 percent of Russians support such an initiative. At the same time, 52 percent of the respondents opposed registration on social networks on a passport.

On January 26, the presidential adviser to Internet development, German Klimenko, stated that the only opportunity to ensure information security in Russia isto restrict the Internet, as in China . "One way is one - this is a Chinese version. Of course, control is needed, because there is no opportunity to prevent it. China is less scrupulous to the opinion of society, they appreciated the threat and limited the Internet. Now they have no such problems," Klimenko said.

Klimenko emphasized that if foreign messengers and social networks will not cooperate with law enforcement officers, "any self -respecting state should throw them out."

Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov called Klimenko’s statements a “private expert point of view” and noted that they do not express the Kremlin’s official position.

“In my opinion, Russia went a little differently, after all, not along the Chinese. And we, in general, are confidently withstanding a certain direction quite confidently,” said the press secretary of Roskomnadzor Vadim Ampelonsky. “We live in the legislative regulation that is adopted only in our country. It is largely unique, like our country.”
