Vedomosti: member of HRC Russia Ashmanov announced the creation of a register of toxic content
Human Rights Watch (HRC), the founder of the Kribrum company Igor Ashmanov said that a register of toxic content may appear in the country. He plans to present the idea of the project to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Vedomosti writes.
Ashmanov said that he had discussed the idea of creating a register with the chairman of the HRC Valery Fadeev and the general director of ANO Dialogue Alexei Goreslavsky. “I wrote a concept for how a Wikipedia-like directory of toxic content could be created,” he said. Such a list can include data on the dangers of vaccinations, child abandonment, LGBT communities and bestiality.
“There is a huge gray area that serves to involve people already in prohibited activities. Creating a registry of toxic content is a way to do something about this gray area – content that will not be banned in the near future, ”the author of the project explained.
The HRC member believes that such content should be“ blocked , clean up, downgrade, remove from platforms. ” The data in this catalog will be labeled according to the degree of toxicity: from forbidden to undesirable.
Fadeev explained that the idea of the project is for society to independently regulate “borderline situations”. He admitted that the project will be discussed at the next meeting of the HRC with Putin.
