The government is launching a mechanism for legal prosecution of content that romanticizes road violations. As TASS found out, by 2027, the Ministry of Digital Development, Roskomnadzor, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Ministry of Transport must work out the introduction of mandatory labeling for any audiovisual materials featuring dangerous maneuvers and disregard for traffic rules. This is the first step towards clearing the information field of "risky behavior models."

The technical implementation will be stricter. Rosmolodezh, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Roskomnadzor will develop clear criteria by 2028 for including websites with such content in the Unified Register of Prohibited Information. This means blocking at the provider level, not just blurring the picture or a warning. In parallel, regions will be obliged to broadcast social advertising for traffic safety on TV, the Internet, and city screens by the end of 2026.

In fact, the state is forming a multi-level filtering system: from preventive advertising and overlays on videos to complete isolation of resources that systematically publish "dicing" and driving into oncoming lanes. The video blogging and streaming industry will receive new moderation requirements, and the line between automotive journalism and the promotion of violations will be legally fixed.
