Legal model for combating information inaccurate on the internet (on the example of Australia)

Abstract

A false sense of anonymity and impunity on the Internet leads to the emergence of such an offense as the dissemination of information that does not correspond to reality that violates the rights of third parties. Despite the legal responsibility for such actions, the number of such offenses on the Internet does not decrease. The Internet brings its own specifics to the regulation of emerging relations, for example, to determine the place and source of publication, the identity of the publisher requires information about all ongoing activity on the Internet, which is stored by Internet intermediaries. Accordingly, the system of organizational and legal mechanisms for regulating Internet relations should take into account the technological specifics of the activities of various Internet intermediaries. In the article analyzes the main changes in Australian legislation aimed at determining the responsibility of Internet intermediaries for the dissemination of information that does not correspond to reality; the stages of the formation of an organizational and legal system for preventing the dissemination of this information in the Australian segment of the Internet, as well as law enforcement practice.
