Roskomandzor wants to reduce Internet time for children under the age of 14. The regulator sent the State Duma a bill on mandatory identification of minors on social networks. The main goal of the initiative is to limit the time children spend online and protect school students from digital threats, scammers and inappropriate content. For this, the social networks will be required to implement a system to verify the real age of the users. However, specific screen time limits (such as one or two hours per day) have yet to be established. In addition, there is currently no clear control mechanism, ways to verify age and fines for violations of future requirements. Such tough measures to protect young people in the digital environment are now being actively debated all over the world - from the UK to Australia. Image: generated by a neural network.
