ОБЕСПЕЧЕНИЕ ИНФОРМАЦИОННОЙ БЕЗОПАСНОСТИ ДЕТЕЙ В РОССИЙСКОЙ ФЕДЕРАЦИИ

Abstract

One of the positive aspects of the achievements in the 21st century is the information variety availability. Any person who has access to the Internet by the technical devices enters the information space. Using the Internet (information technology) any person can not only obtain the electronic library thus expanding one’s horizons with encyclopedic knowledge, but also carry out educational activities and share any information. However, a person with a fragile psyche gets access to information that does not correspond to the age category. An issue of children’s access to information that has age restrictions is discussed, and decisions are made that regulate by law the relationship of future erudites with information posted in the public domain. In society there is ambiguity in the formulation and views on information that has age restrictions. Such an ambiguity leads to the fact that the younger generation is not protected from the information an access to which is restricted to them. Therefore, by concentrating regulatory functions in one executive body, it is possible to achieve the proper level of protection against information that has age restrictions. Those functions could be assigned to such an executive body as the Russian Federation Ministry of Education.
