In Russia, there are plans to create cyber squads to work with youth on the internet.

      According to the Parliamentary Newspaper, the document includes 41 points and is intended for the period from 2026 to 2030. It covers the work of educational institutions, youth, and patriotic organizations. It is expected that the new structures will monitor the internet space and participate in the prevention of risks associated with the spread of destructive content among minors. The list of measures also mentions the development of media literacy, engaging youth in socially significant projects, and strengthening interaction between educational organizations and relevant authorities. However, the specific mechanisms for the operation of cyber patrols, their composition, and powers are not currently disclosed. Similar initiatives have analogs in global practice, but are implemented in different formats. In China, regulation of the internet environment for youth is carried out through centralized mechanisms under the control of the Cyberspace Administration of China. In European countries, the focus is on the responsibility of platforms: for example, under the Digital Services Act, companies are required to respond promptly to harmful content and ensure its removal. In the UK, similar functions are assigned to the regulator Ofcom, operating under the Online Safety Act 2023. In the US, on the other hand, a decentralized approach prevails: a significant part of the responsibility lies with the internet platforms themselves and educational programs on digital literacy. Experts note that the effectiveness of such measures largely depends on the specific implementation mechanisms and the balance between prevention and regulation.
