The Internet service providers will offer end-users the possibility of installing applications for filtering the content with a negative impact on children. The Parliament’s commission on social protection, health and family on July 27 examined a bill to amend the legislation in this regard, IPN has learned from the legislature’s press service.

Under the bill, the service providers will also introduce a chapter with information about Internet safety in the main menu of their official websites. The parents could thus control the content viewed by their children.

The MPs said the new changes will offer a competitive advantage to service providers. Currently, the mobile phone carrier Moldcell offers its users access to the Safe Kids service that was developed in partnership with Kaspersky, while the telecom carrier Moldtelecom provides the Safe Web service in partnership with Norton/Symantec.

The bill is to be debated and adopted by the legislative body.
