Children's SIM cards to be introduced in Russia

Parents in Russia will be able to track their children's location using special SIM cards. The initiative was presented by the country's Minister of Digital Development, Maksut Shadayev, at a forum of the LizaAlert group, RIA Novosti reports.

Such a SIM card will be available with the official consent of the child's legal guardians. A similar feature is planned for older people on the Gosuslugi website, allowing a trusted person to access their location.

In both cases, filing an official application or obtaining a court order will not be required.
