Attitude towards online media

[edit]

At the end of 2009, Sitnikov's statement caused a wide resonance, in which he blamed the Internet media for readers' comments, stating: "“If the editors do not want complications with the supervisory authorities, then they should moderate their forum”.

In June 2010, Sitnikov, by his order, approved the procedure for moderating illegal comments on Internet media sites. In accordance with it, Roskomnadzor, in the event that the publication of comments from readers of online publications “with signs of abuse of freedom of the mass media”, had to send an electronic appeal to the media with a proposal to remove illegal comments from the site or edit them within 24 hours.

In December 2020, Russian President Vladimir Putin called for the expansion of moral and ethical standards to the Internet in the same volumes in which they apply to other areas.

The Internet should be subject to all the same rules that apply and have applied so far. I mean, first of all, the regulatory framework and moral and ethical standards that all of humanity has developed over the millennia. Yes, this is a new sphere, a new type of activity, new systems, but even so they should be applied to the same extent as in other area.

—Vladimir Putin during the discussion “Artificial intelligence is the main technology of the 21st century"[23]

Ten years later, Sitnikov's decision on responsibility for the abuse of freedom of mass media on the Internet has actually become the norm of professional ethics.
