Internet service providers as subjects of prevention of sexual crime on the Internet by A. K. Zharova

“…Thus, the Federal Law “On Information, Information Technologies and Information Protection” does not contain requirements for the owners of audiovisual services and news aggregators to conduct mandatory monitoring of information distributed on Internet platforms.The use of content filtering technology cannot be considered a panacea, but its mandatory use by various hosting providers will reduce the likelihood of distributing prohibited information.The requirement for the owners of social networks to monitor content by their users, defined by the Federal Law “On Information, Information Technologies, and Information Protection”, is only the first step taken towards reducing the volume of prohibited content posted on the Web. However, the requirements for the use of image and text recognition technologies by Internet providers remained outside.The article used the methods and techniques of formal logic - this is analysis and synthesis, analogy, comparison, hypothesis, proof in order to determine assumptions and find answers to the questions posed in the article.The study and comparative analysis of the practice of ensuring the safety of children from information posted on the Web, reflected in foreign studies, demonstrating possible solutions, made it possible to compare Russian experience with the experience of foreign colleagues and draw conclusions about approaches to solving the problems.The methods of forecasting and modeling are used for formulating possible ways to develop regulation and eliminate gaps in Russian legislation.…”
