The paper deals with the current problems of the realization of the individual’s right to reliable information in the modern information society. In order to ensure the reliability of conclusions and proposals, the author analyzes the problems in various aspects using an interdisciplinary approach: 1) in the context of the causes and risks of unreliability of information; 2) from the standpoint of the philosophy of postmodernism and the theory of consumer society; 3) in the context of ensuring information security and countering information influence; 4) based on the analysis of international acts, legislation of the Russian Federation, documents of a doctrinal nature; 5) in the light of the possibilities of self-regulation in the field of information relations; 6) in relation to the complex of information rights; 7) from the point of view of using the legal mechanism of «information security» and the approval of the right to erasure. Considering the issues in this way allowed the author to show how the risks of the development of a digital society increase the status of information rights, bringing new meanings to them, and give rise to new rights or legal mechanisms for their implementation. In the implementation of the entire complex of information rights, the main difficulty, according to the author, is the balance in the implementation of the principle of individual freedom in the sphere of information circulation and the use of a mechanism to protect certain content from information in order to ensure the interests of the individual, society, and the state. The latter, according to the author, should be justified by the nature and scale of the threats. Therefore, in order to confirm the legitimacy of raising the issue of an individual’s right to reliable information, the author subjected to a detailed analysis of the causes and threats emanating from the growing scale of unreliability of information, and pointed out the need for legal consolidation of the concept of reliability and its signs. The result of the study was the conclusion that the right to reliable information formed in modern conditions can be fully realized only on the basis of an integral system of measures: socio-political, socio-moral, legal, information and technological.
