In order to protect children from dangerous content, the Safe Internet League has created a bill that makes it possible to install mechanisms for blocking pages on the Internet that carry forbidden information.
At the beginning of June 2012, a new bill was submitted to the State Duma for consideration, which involves the creation of lists of websites with information prohibited for dissemination, for example, propaganda of war and drugs, encouraging minors to commit suicide, and child pornography. The development of the project was preceded by a lengthy discussion with market experts. This model allows you to protect children from dangerous information, while leaving the Internet free space. Representatives of the League argue that the proposals under consideration to exclude a number of content are not censored, since they are talking about illegal information in Russia.
Both individual pages and sites will not automatically enter the registry. Responsibilities for monitoring sites with dangerous information, according to the bill, will be assigned to a non-profit organization. It will transmit information about the discovered sites and pages with illegal content to the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media. Then the owner of the Internet resource will receive a warning from Roskomnadzor about the detection of illegal content and will have to remove it. If there is no reaction from the owner within 24 hours, the hosting provider will remove the content. Otherwise, the page will be blacklisted. If content such as incitement to ethnic hatred is detected, resources will be entered into the register only by a court decision.
The decision to include a page or site in the register of Internet threats can be appealed within three months in court. However, the prohibited information must be promptly removed by the owners of the blacklisted sites. After that, the site can be excluded from the unified register.
