Problems of information space protection and national information security in the conditions of the information democracy

Abstract

The article analyzes the legal and regulatory framework of Ukraine, which confirms the existence in the state of a number of legislative and other normative legal acts aimed at the regulation, protection and development of the domestic information space. At the same time, it is noted that some unsystematic domestic legal policy in the information sphere remains as an important problem, in particular, in view of the fact that some legislative acts are adopted in order to solve tactical tasks, without taking into account strategic orientations and objective Ukrainian conditions. The information sovereignty and security of Ukraine as an internal state aspect of the country’s development are analyzed. It has been explored how the use of manipulative technologies, such as spin doctoring, threatens information security and prompts the protection of the information space from interference by foreign countries and the distortion of information. The factors that hinder the development of the information space are distinguished and characterized and the recommendations for the improvement of the information society in condition of information democracy formation are provided.
