Baku / 13.02.19 / Turan: It seems that the ruling Yeni Azerbaijan Party (YAP) is launching a new campaign to tighten control over the Internet. Recently, the representative of the YAP Deputy Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Social Policy Musa Guliyev called for "closing" social networks "due to insults and security threats emanating from abroad." At the same time, he proposed to create "national social networks".
Today, Deputy Prime Minister and Deputy Chairman of the ruling Yeni Azerbaijan Party, Ali Ahmadov, complained that it is impossible to "legally protect yourself" in social networks.
"It is very easy to offend and subject any person to moral terror, but there is no mechanism for self-defense. This problem creates tension in society, it exists not only in Azerbaijan, but also in other countries. Just in Azerbaijan, this phenomenon manifests itself in an ugly form," said Ahmedov.
Azerbaijan has legal norms regulating the solution of this problem, but there are no mechanisms for their application. "Therefore, it is necessary to hold discussions, find ways to stop this disgrace. In some countries, even go to the restriction of the Internet. I am absolutely against the restriction of the Internet, but it is necessary to find options for technical and legal control against insults on the Internet," Ahmedov said. -05D06--
