According to available information, the Financial Monitoring Agency (FMA) has developed a new procedure for monitoring the information space for the presence of prohibited content. In case of violations, citizens may face blocking, as well as administrative or even criminal liability.
The agency plans to monitor information in open sources, including:
- websites;
- social networks;
- messengers;
- mass media;
- other information and communication platforms.
At the same time, as the agency emphasizes, compliance with personal data protection legislation will be mandatory.
According to the law on online platforms and online advertising, prohibited content includes calls, agitation, and propaganda for:
- violent change of the constitutional order and violation of the integrity of the country;
- undermining state security;
- war;
- social, racial, national, religious, class, and tribal superiority;
- cult of violence, cruelty, suicide, pornography, drugs, and psychotropic substances;
- separatism, fraud, and information threatening interethnic and interfaith harmony.
It was previously reported that in Tajikistan, penalties for "likes" and reposts on social networks were abolished.
