Investigative Committee threatens to strengthen control over Threads and TikTok
Allegedly, a lot of destructive information.
The Investigative Committee stated that "amidst the growing number of cases of spreading destructive information, investigators are intensifying monitoring and prompt response to publications and comments, especially in Threads and TikTok, with subsequent legal assessment of the authors' actions."
It is reported that special attention will be paid to materials containing:
- disinformation of the population;
- incitement of social hatred;
- deliberately false reports of danger;
- rehabilitation of Nazism.
Allegedly, facts have been established where "certain individuals, with the aim of increasing the reach of their publications and attracting an audience to their account, deliberately disseminate information that does not correspond to reality, about a crime allegedly committed by someone, posing as a victim or a witness to a crime."
The IC states that there are cases where such publications are based on a fictional story, therefore such facts will also be subject to legal assessment.
