Russia will prepare a bill on enhanced blocking of illegal content
The Prosecutor General's Office, together with the Ministry of Digital Development and Roskomnadzor, is preparing a bill that expands the technical capabilities of blocking illegal content. This was reported by Vice Speaker of the Federation Council Inna Svyatenko.
“It is also necessary at the legislative level to provide for requirements for the activities of persons engaged in the production and distribution of socially significant content,” she noted.
“Blocking is important,” Svyatenko said, but emphasized that it is necessary to go further and understand who produces illegal content and who is directly involved in distribution. They “must be responsible for the quality and reliability of publicly posted information,” the senator noted.
On March 1, a rule came into force in Russia limiting access to materials that popularize VPN services that provide access to sites banned in Russia. Roskomnadzor recalled that the use of means of bypassing blocking access to illegal content has been prohibited since February 2020.
