The process of verifying the age of Internet users must be specified at the legislative level. This was declared by the Human Rights Commissioner at Russian Federation Tatyana Moscow in her report in 2024, wrote.
She emphasized that this must be done to protect minors from negative content online. Currently, according to Moscow, any Internet user can put a bug in a window to confirm that you are 18 years old on websites with adult content. At the same time, any confirmation of age, authorization, etc., not required.
In order to protect minors from the negative effects of the content on the Internet, the legislative regulation on the process of verifying the age of the Internet user seems to be necessary, the document said.
Earlier, the Russians talked about the most common threat to children on the Internet. According to information security experts (IB) Alexander Noal, adolescence, due to their immatureness in assessing risks, is an easy prey for scammers. Crime provides children with different programs, often related to financial blackmail.
