It is necessary to increase the safety of the Russian segment of the Internet, and in relation to persons using it for criminal purposes, strict measures should be used. This was stated by Vladimir Putin at a meeting of the Russian Security Council, the Kremlin press service reports .

“As in other democratic countries, we must fight those who use the information space to propagate radical ideas, justify terrorism, extremism, and decisively suppress attempts to place materials that threaten the security of our state, society as a whole and individual citizens,” the president said. “At the same time, it cannot be about restricting the access of law -abiding citizens to the resources of the global network, about some Total barriers and filters must be strictly observed and respected by the constitutional right to receive and disseminate information. ”
