Wasserman called the desire of the RKN to ban cinema with perversion an excessive step For the truth ”, criticized the desire of Roskomnadzor (RKN) to prohibit the showing of sexually perverse films and TV series in online cinemas. In an interview with Radio 1, he called the intention to ban such films an excessive step.
Wasserman recalled that propaganda of homosexuality among minors is prohibited in Russia. According to the publicist, such a prohibition is justified, since during the youthful development of sexuality, any accident can persuade a person to one side or the other. “But for adults with more or less defined sexual preferences, such a prohibition, in my opinion, is redundant,” he said.
“Therefore, this initiative of Roskomnadzor seems to me to go beyond both the current law and that part common sense, which formed this current law, “- explained the deputy.
Previously, the RKN proposed to ban online screening of films with” sexual perversion “. Punishment for such violations is proposed to be established by analogy with the current article 6.21 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (CAO) on the promotion of non-traditional sexual relations among minors, which implies fines for companies in the amount of up to one million rubles or suspension of activities for up to 90 days.
