24% of Russians have a negative attitude to the restriction of profanity on the Internet, and 48% support this measure. The rest do not consider the question important.

Such data follows from a survey conducted by the antivirus developer ESET. The research results are published by RIA Novosti.

56% of those surveyed said that they use swearing when communicating online. Moreover, 46% do it exclusively in personal correspondence, and 10% everywhere. 44% said they did not use profanity on the Internet at all.

38% of participants in the study called offensive posts unacceptable. 19% would like to see administrative liability for such publications.

Analysts found that 64% of Russians approve of Internet censorship. 45% consider such measures to be a security issue, and 19% are sure that it is necessary to track the unfair information, which, as they believe, is filled with the worldwide web.

In early April, it was reported that 87% of Russians were not ready to support protests against tightening online controls.

On March 10, Roskomnadzor slowed down the traffic of the social network Twitter due to the fact that it refused to remove prohibited content. After the traffic slowed down, the social network removed 1.9 thousand out of 3.1 thousand prohibited materials, the department reported. Roskomnadzor gave Twitter time until May 15 so that the social network could remove all prohibited content. Until that time, the traffic of the social network will be slowed down. If by this time the social network has not removed the rest of the content, it will be blocked, threatened by Roskomnadzor.
