Roskomandzor proposed to ban children under 14 from surfing the Internet and to oblige social networks to verify the age of users.
A service representative explained this with the need to protect minors from prohibited content.
In June, the head of the digital development office, Maxut Shadive, said that they were studying foreign experience in age verification, including in the Roblox gaming platform. According to a survey by VTsIOM, restrictions for children on social networks are supported by 59% of Russians, and 12% are in favor of a complete ban. RKN sent the bill to the State Duma Committee on Information Policy.
