According to deputies, current users of the Internet, mobile phones, computer games, consumers of video and film production, along with the right information often encounter the propaganda of the ideas that are contrary to the spiritual and moral norms and rules of the Uzbek society.

As the Party declared in its election platform, it intended to make a special emphasis on information security of juveniles, protection of their consciousness from the negative effects, education of young people in a spirit of respect for national values ​​and loyalty to country.

Speakers stressed the importance of strengthening of the relevant legal base to protect youth from information of negative nature. Today, information security of juveniles in Uzbekistan is regulated just by-laws and documents of internal nature that do not cover the regulations on information products that pose a threat to children. There is no certain law that settles the requirements that must be applied to the content of information disseminated through mobile communication, computer and electronic games, mass entertainment, to print, audiovisual and electronic products for children of different ages.

In this regard the group of deputies of DPU Milly Tiklanish faction is developing a draft law aimed at protecting children from harmful information. They stated that the bill was developed in line with modern international practices of legal regulation of information products that have a negative impact on young people. For example, in U.S., Canada, Australia, Germany, Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, Italy, Portugal, Romania, Poland, Japan and other developed democracies have introduced restrictions and prohibitions on dissemination among children and juveniles of the information that was harmful to their health and development. Such information is also examined and classified taking into account the age. Certain hours have were assigned for broadcasting programs for adults and children, and special supervisory authorities were established to protect children from the negative affects of information.  A serious amenability was imposed for the circulation of illegal products among minors.

UN documents on protecting children from harmful information including the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the recommendations of the General Assembly ‘On introduction of safe online and Internet resources for minors’ were taken into account when elaborating the draft law. In addition, the bill reflects international commitments of the Republic of Uzbekistan in this sphere.

Upon the discussions it was resolved to establish a working group out of deputies, lawyers, experts from the relevant ministries, agencies and organizations to finalize the bill.
