INTENTIONAL DISTRIBUTION OF DELIBERATELY FALSE INFORMATION IN THE MEDIA AND INFORMATION-TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORKS - A NEW CHALLENGE FOR STATE SECURITY IN THE MODERN WORLD
Abstract
The article touches upon one of the actual problems of the modern world - the issues of legal regulation of the deliberate dissemination of deliberately false information in the media, electronic, information and telecommunication networks (including the Internet), committed for destructive purposes. The subject of the study is based on both the current criminal law of the Russian Federation standards and legislation projects proposed in the area of criminal and administrative law. The authors focus on the analysis of law enforcement practice in terms of compliance with current legislation and in perspective of a potential change of laws. The methodological basis of the study is dialectical materialism and general scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, and others. Formal legal, comparative legal and other legal methods were used as special ones. Based on the findings, the authors conclude that there is a significant flaw in the legislation and proposes an option to eliminate this flaw. The authors propose their own definition of this process. The article concludes that the problem is global and its solution is at the intersection of such sciences as law, sociology, computer science and computer security. The solution to this problem should also be complex, but the law should be modernized in the first place. It justifies the need to change the criminal law, which will signiicantly improve the level of legality and the rule of law in modern Russia.
