Parallel session: Sesion for law enforcement

Presentation title: Self-regulation initiatives in Russia: cooperation with law enforcement agencies

The Friendly Runet Foundation has been implementing a complex strategy in Russia in the field of safer internet use. When implementing safer internet node functions and dealing with fast-evolving communication technologies a necessity of self-regulation of the internet industry becomes very obvious.
With the participation of Friendly Runet several self-regulation documents were developed.
A Declaration for safety of children and young people on the internet contains basic principles for the industry concerning safer internet use and sets a direction for a consolidation of the industry’s efforts.
As a development of the Declaration other specialized and binding public documents were created with the participation of Friendly Runet.
