Putin has emphasized the need for universal agreement on combating such negative phenomena, Moscow is waiting for a positive response on appropriate proposals.

“Russia has consistently advocated the freedom of access to communication technologies, including the Internet. We attach great importance to the protection of human rights in the information space. While in the digital environment, as in any other, freedom in any case should not be replaced by permissiveness and impunity”, — Putin wrote in an article for German newspaper Handelsblatt.

Material published in the electronic version of the publication on the eve of the G20 summit, which will take place in Hamburg on 7-8 July.

As Putin said, permissiveness and impunity on the Internet “leads to rampant cyber criminals, hacker groups, all those who, using advanced technologies, encroaching on the privacy of citizens or the sovereignty of States.” “Russia, one of the first signifying the danger of this call, not the first year promotes the idea of a universal conclusion of international agreements in the framework of the UN, designed to counteract these negative phenomena. Here we count on the positive, engaged response from other countries.”
