Russia will introduce special SIM cards for children, allowing parents to track their location without official requests. These SIM cards, announced by the Ministry of Digital Development, will enable parents to obtain geolocation data of their children on demand. The initiative aims to enhance parental control and traffic filtering. The proposal for these SIM cards for children under 14 was made in August. This development follows recent regulations on SIM card limits and penalties for transferring them to third parties.
