N. Berezin: Belarus and Russia should protect themselves from spread of fake news at legislative level

23 марта 2021
Information security is now the number one issue in Russia and Belarus. We saw the attack on our country's sovereignty last year. Similar attacks are coming against Russia. So it is necessary to combine efforts and work out new schemes to combat false information. 

This opinion was shared with our channel by Nikita Berezin, deputy of the Russian State Duma and member of the commission on information policy of the Parliamentary Assembly of Belarus and Russia. 

Nikita Berezin, Russian State Duma deputy and member of the commission on information policy of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Union of Belarus and Russia: "In Russia, we have already adopted a number of laws to control mass media and social networks. We understand that we have to monitor and control it to the maximum extent possible. Therefore, my colleagues and I will discuss the proposals that Russia and the Republic of Bashkortostan have made. Many people still react to fake news. And this reaction must not only be caught and protested, but it must be prevented, so that people were aware  that there are certain forces that are trying to undermine stability in our states."
