The blogger’s code will include a rule about “decent behavior”

“I want the blogger there (on the Internet. — Kommersant) to be a model of worthy behavior. So that both in personal and public life, so that it matches the image that this blogger creates. Conflict-free – bloggers should not behave offensively. We are talking about responding to personal messages, comments,” said Nina Ostanina “RIA News”.

It is also planned to include in the code the rules for the work of bloggers with information, the principle of honesty. According to Ms. Ostanina, the draft document will be discussed on November 14.
