A list of social media platforms will be determined, Deputy Minister of Digital Development and Transport Rashad Hasanov said during the discussion of the draft law "On Information, Informatization and Protection of Information" at today's joint meeting of the Milli Majlis Committees on Human Rights, Family, Women and Children's Issues, as well as Legal Policy and State Building, APA reports.

The deputy minister stated that there will be certain difficulties in the area of oversight: "Today, even in Australia itself, difficulties and certain cases related to oversight are being observed. Children use filters that alter facial features and other tools. There is a need for awareness-raising and joint action. This will help us in implementing the project. The list of social media platforms will be determined by the relevant executive authorities. In doing so, the level of mass use of the platforms will be taken into account. Technologies are developing rapidly. Therefore, it is not possible to know precisely now what difficulties and questions we will face after some time."
