popular theme resource Change.org appeared petition issued by a resident of Minsk in the administration of the social network "Vkontakte". The user Andrey Aleksandrovich requests to prohibit registered in social networks to persons under 18 years of age. In his opinion, the service should review the registration algorithms and content filtering.

""Vkontakte" is the largest social network in Runet without limitation, all young people, including children 12-16 years of age, is logged in and has access to terabytes of content," - writes the author of the petition.

"what is beyond dispute is that some of the content is filtered, video violence, child pornography and other actively removed, but this is not enough. Going into thematic groups, it is easy to find a lot of inappropriate comments both adults and children, a huge amount of foul language, images and video that has a very negative impact on the adequacy, literacy and education of children and adolescents continues Andrey Aleksandrovich. - Roughly speaking, youngsters go crazy for any reason, and their peers take the same inadequate debate, insults, humiliation. I can only imagine who will grow out of that minor for the Internet generation!"

"I am 25 years old, and I am greatly concerned over the fact that millions inadequate and uncontrolled children and adolescents get tons of unfiltered information, be aggressive, bezgramotnie and neadekvata over time", - says Andrey Alexandrovich.
