PANELISTS CALL FOR REGULATION OF RUSSIAN INTERNET MOSCOW, February 28 (RIA Novosti) - Participants in a panel discussion held on the RIA premises Monday agreed that Internet regulation was an imperative for Russia. Just like any other area of technological activity, the Internet has to be properly regulated and controlled, argued Oleg Byakhov, head of the Communications Ministry's information development department. Speaking of regulation mechanisms, he said no special laws were needed, but that old regulatory acts should instead be readapted to the new environment. He also pointed out the importance of determining who should be held responsible for the spread of unlawful information via the Internet. In his view, if an online resource posts such information, its administrator should be called to account. Konstantin Machabelin, deputy head of the Interior Ministry's technology department, disagrees. It is Internet providers who shall make sure that no unlawful data comes out, he said. He also called for tougher measures against online Russian media spreading illegal information, claiming that all previous efforts to deal with the problem had not produced much effect.
