Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the essence of the information society and the definition of the conceptual characteristics of its legal standards. The lack of a coordinated scientific position of the theoretical interpretation of the concept of information society is stated. Scientific positions are grouped into two groups: the first group of scientists positions the information society narrowly, by generalizing it with information as the main resource of social reality. Another group of scientists expand the concept, introducing a number of additional key features. It is concluded that the considered society reflects the tendency of a new round of evolution of the world development of civilized peoples, which is connected with modern information and telecommunication technological progress. It is proved that the legal regulation of relations in the information society is designed to develop basic standards for the functioning of such a society, the creation of appropriate conditions for a person to be in such a society. The search for optimal means and methods of legal regulation can not be simple and one-sided, as it is necessary to take into account the positive and negative trends in society. It is stated that the information society can represent significant benefits for the state and the individual citizen to protect the legal values of democracy, equality, non-discrimination. The characteristics of the manifestation of legal standards of the information society are considered, in particular: transformation of established constitutional institutions and change of their manifestation; modification of the legal ideology of society; conflict of national practice and unification of international standards; expanding the understanding of the concept of "subject of law"; the emergence of a number of new generation rights or the expansion of the elemental composition of an established system of rights.
