RKN proposed to restrict children under 14 on the Internet and require social networks to verify age - knowledge This material (information) is produced and distributed by the bell's foreign agent or relates to the bell's foreign agent's activities. 18+ Roskomandzor sent a bill to the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, proposing to limit the time spent on the Internet for children under the age of 14, as well as to introduce mandatory identification of minor users on social networks, Yade wrote with reference to the representative of the regulator. UPD: The RKN stated that they did not propose requiring social networks to identify children under 14, and did not address information on limiting the time children under 14 can spend online, according to reports from government agencies. In a knowledge article, the age threshold referred to time limits on the Internet, and not to checking the age of users on social networks. The initiative is explained by the need to protect children from prohibited content. There are no details yet on specific measures. In June, the head of the Digital Development Office, Maxut Shadev, said that his department is examining the possibility of introducing mechanisms to identify users on online platforms according to age, including consideration of foreign experience. Access to social networks for minors is gradually restricted around the world. Since the end of last year, Australia has become the first country to ban the use of several platforms by people under the age of 16. The first results of the experiment were a failure.
