The concept of deliberately unreliable information disseminated under the guise of reliable communications in law

Abstract

The article raises the problem of the content of the concept of deliberately unreliable information disseminated under the guise of reliable messages, applied in the norms of administrative law establishing responsibility for the illegal dissemination of various types of socially significant information. By a detailed analysis of the elements that make up the studied concept, its meaning is revealed. The author analyzes the main theoretical approaches to the content of these elements in various branches of legal science. The article outlines the problems of applying the norms of administrative law that establish responsibility for the illegal dissemination of various types of socially significant information. These problems are related to the lack of a legal definition of the concept of deliberately unreliable information distributed under the guise of reliable messages. The author has established the absence in science and judicial practice of a unified approach to the content of the sign of obviously unreliable information disseminated under the guise of reliable messages. The author distinguishes the concept of obviously unreliable information from other related categories. Conclusions are formulated about the need to disclose in the law the content of the concept of unreliable information, which is a fundamental element of administrative offenses that establish responsibility for the illegal dissemination of various types of socially significant information, as well as the need to fix in the law the content of the construction "obviously unreliable information disseminated under the guise of reliable messages". The article presents the author's approach to the formulation of the content of the concept of deliberately unreliable information disseminated under the guise of reliable messages.
