Moskalkova called for regulating age verification on the Internet

It is noted that adult content is available without any authorization to any user who checks the box that he turned 18 years old.

"In order to protect minors from the negative impact of content on the Internet, it seems necessary to legislatively regulate the processes of verifying the age of Internet users," the document says.

In addition, the Ombudsman called for a separate legislative review of the field of blogging. In her opinion, the very concept of "blogger" requires legal consolidation in the interests of law-abiding citizens of Russia. Moskalkova also supported the State Duma's initiative to regulate the activities of medical content creators.

"It is assumed that a special registry will be created. If the author has a medical degree and is a practicing physician, a special icon will appear on his web page. This way, users will be able to recognize which of the bloggers is a qualified specialist," she said.
