Іnformation space of the state as a sphere of information sovereignty implementation

Abstract

The article explores the concept of information space as a sphere of realization of information sovereignty. According to the results of the study, the understanding of the essence of information sovereignty requires a clear definition of the scope (or space) of its implementation, but the interpretation of space as a specific territory is ambiguous, because the information space has lost all the limitations of physical space. At the same time, the concept of information space is currently absent in the current national legislation, and the concepts of “information space”, “information sphere” and “information environment” are quite often identified as similar. The information space should be understood as the environment of information activities related to the creation, collection, receipt, storage, usage, dissemination, protection and defense of information covered by the jurisdiction of Ukraine, as well as the functioning of the national information infrastructure.
