Mizulina proposes to protect Russian children from the harmful effects of online video games

The measure of morality and the guardian of the spiritual braces of Russian citizens, Elena Borisovna Mizulina, is returning to the legislative battlefield with a new initiative - to protect Russian children from the "bad" online video games. In general, a member of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation believes that children should be fenced off from games where there is cruelty, scenes of violence, propaganda of a negative image of Russia and containing extremist materials. Words respected mother of Russia: "It is clear that all such products must be age-marked and safe for the mental and moral health of children." About how Ms. Mizulina responded to the fact that without her initiative, all games have age restrictions, not reported.


It would be unreasonable for Roskomnadzor not to attach a shaggy hand to a similar topic. Alexander Zharov, the head of Roskomnadzor, shared with the public plans on regulating the online games segment. Together with Roskomnadzor, the Internet Development Fund (SU domain administrator) and SPSU work in sweat. The words of the head of Roskomnadzor about future plans:

“Roskomnadzor interacts with experts from the Internet Development Foundation, St. Petersburg State University and other organizations to develop approaches to regulating this issue (online games - note“ Lenti.ru ”). But we do it very carefully and delicately and the specifics are not yet ready to voice. ”

The head of Roskomnadzor also advised on how difficult it is to detect terrorists even in these Europe of your wiretap, because:

“In Paris, the terrorists organized their communications not only through encrypted instant messengers, but, as far as I know, through the PlayStation 4, where it is impossible to determine whether calls to shoot and kill relate to virtual game events or a real terrorist attack”

Anyway, a stupid initiative may very soon become a legislative act, and deputies, without delaying the matter indefinitely, will quickly accept any act containing the word “restrict”. It is not clear how to replace parenting and parental control. The motive of such educational activity is also unknown, either Mrs. Mizulina, along with Zharov, swing their rating on such fertile soil as the protection of children, or is it something else. We can only hope that in all consultations and meetings there will be at least one person who will offer to protect online games from children, and not vice versa.
