They want to double the fines.
Bills have been submitted to the State Duma that are aimed at strengthening the protection of children from information on the Web that is harmful to their health and development. Senator Lyudmila Bokova was the author of the initiatives. According to the proposed amendments, fines will be increased, as well as confiscated items of offenses.
The purpose of the draft federal law is to strengthen administrative responsibility for offenses in the field of ensuring the safety of children in the information and telecommunications network Internet, - noted in the explanatory note to the document.
It is proposed to amend article 6.17 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. According to the document, the dissemination of dangerous information for children “entails the imposition of an administrative fine on citizens in the amount of three 3 to 4 thousand rubles with the confiscation of the subject of an administrative offense; for officials - from 10 thousand to 20 thousand rubles; for persons engaged in entrepreneurial activity without forming a legal entity - from 10 thousand to 20 thousand rubles with confiscation of the subject of an administrative offense or administrative suspension of activities for up to ninety days; for legal entities - from 40 thousand to 100 thousand rubles with confiscation of the subject of an administrative offense or administrative suspension of activities for up to ninety days."
We will remind, earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law according to which provides for the immediate blocking of sites containing information that is dangerous for teenagers. According to the new amendments, having appeared in the Laws "On Information, Information Technologies and the Protection of Information" and "On the Protection of Children from Information Harmful to Their Health and Development", now not only information that is aimed at involving minors in committing illegal actions that pose a threat to their life or health, but also content that induces actions that are dangerous to their life and health. Now the owners of dangerous sites must immediately block them, and not within a day, as it was before.
