Information extremism: problems and solutions

Introduction: this article deals with the dissemination of extremist materials on the Internet, namely on social networks. Information extremism, as one of the varieties of extremism, is the most dangerous today. Because information containing banned content is often publicly available, and distributors of this information do not distinguish between children and adults in pursuit of their criminal goals. Consideration of the issue of imposing restrictions on the use of dubious websites and their further blocking is more urgent than ever in our country. Problems arising in the fight against information extremism should be solved at both the legislative and international level, and a comprehensive approach can lead to positive results. Materials and methods: the normative base of the study normative legal acts of the Russian Federation. The methodology of the work includes both general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction) and particular scientific methods. The Results of the study: the author's approach to solving the problems raised in the study is proposed. Findings and Conclusion: the author has identified the need to improve existing legislation to more thoroughly check websites with dubious content and to increase liability for crimes and offences related to extremist activity.
