Residents of Kolymov discuss latest offerings at "Gosuljuby"
The Magadan Oblast government has recently introduced an enhanced digital safety section for children on the Gosuslugi portal, as reported. This new feature equips parents with a set of tools to ensure their children's online security.
Here's what parents can expect from the updated portal:
- Parents can now control their children's internet usage by blocking unwanted websites and limiting screen time.
- The portal also offers real-time location tracking, allowing parents to set safe zones and receive notifications if their child leaves these areas.
- During emergencies, an SOS button has been incorporated for immediate assistance.
- Family mode and search filtering have been added to exclude adult content, even when queries are accidental.
Additionally, to aid students, parents, and educators in comprehending the essence and counter-circulation of deceptive, socially significant information disguised as reliable messages, the ANO "Dialogue Regions" has launched the "Lapsha Media" project. This project includes the following helpful fact-checking materials:
- "Fakes Pass By" video clips, comprising simple and visual tips for checking information without complex terminology, making them ideal for quick learning by both teens and parents.
- An online course featuring Alexander Pushny, offering short lectures on self-checking news, photos, and audio, with real-life examples for easy understanding.
- A step-by-step guide on how to distinguish reliable information from fiction, serve as a reminder or a useful tool to share with friends.

While Gosuslugi offers essential services for public needs, its core functionalities are more centered on general public services rather than specific internet safety tools. However, parents can utilize the following elements within the current Gosuslugi framework and related state digital services to meet their children's internet safety requirements:
- Account Security: If a Gosuslugi account is compromised, quickly restore access by contacting the Multifunctional Center (MFC) for assistance.
- Child Travel and Legal Restrictions: Use Gosuslugi to check or apply for travel restrictions or permissions for children.
For internet safety, parents should consider using parental control software and device settings, as explicitly stated in the recommedations section. For emergency situations, contact emergency services directly, and for account security, remain vigilant about phishing and use official Gosuslugi or MFC support if hacked.
- The newly updated Gosuslugi portal, as reported, not only provides essential services but also includes a digital safety section for enhancing children's online security, offering features such as control over internet usage, real-time location tracking, and SOS button for emergencies.
- In addition to theenhanced digital safety features on the Gosuslugi portal, the ANO "Dialogue Regions" has launched the "Lapsha Media" project to aid education and self-development by providing fact-checking materials like "Fakes Pass By" video clips, an online course with Alexander Pushny, and a step-by-step guide for distinguishing reliable information from fiction in the realm of general news.
