Some socio-economic reasons deformation of information space and legal methods of their neutralization

The article explores questions about various forms of deformations in a digital environment. Attention is drawn to the emerging new threats posed by the digital environment: human capital as the main factor in the material economy is replaced by its digital duplicate with many problems in the sphere of production and consumption, as well as in the formation of mentality. The article focuses on the fact that the “digital identity” itself becomes the object of theft and manipulation by hackers. It is concluded that the digital environment, which provides, at first glance, an equal opportunity for users, nevertheless, leads to a “digital inequality”, with a much greater conflict potential than the material world. The article explores some of the provisions of the Strategy for the Development of the Information Society in the Russian Federation for 2017-2030, and in this regard, the conclusion is made about the impossibility of creating a global information security system. Attention is also drawn to the fact that the existing federal laws providing for the regulation of security in the digital environment of Russia are generally not so much of a regulatory as a doctrinal one. In this regard, it is proposed to adopt a federal law “On the safe use of the Internet in the Russian Federation”, which would provide for an increase in the legal liability of network users.
