Abstract

In the article, the author investigates the basics of countering the threats to the information and communication environment. Currently, the information and communication environment continues to form, which determines the presence of certain threats classified by the author into regulated through socio-cultural mechanisms (information inequality, cyber disorders) or legal mechanisms (the use of destructive information, information warfare, information crime, information terrorism). The development of legal means of countering these threats is becoming a necessary direction of the law-making activity of the Russian Federation today. It is shown that the legal regulation of relations on the Internet is carried out on the basis of the norms of the information legislation of Russia. Part of the legal relations is regulated by the norms of international law, which is related to the global nature of this computer network. The vital activity of a person, society, and the state is likely to be significantly more vulnerable. Today, it is necessary to develop legal means not to counteract, but to counter threats to the information and communication environment. Such legal means should be able to protect the interests of a person, society, and the state as effectively as possible.
