PRINCIPLES OF LEGAL REGULATION OF INFORMATION

Abstract

The article deals with the principles of legal regulation of information based on a comprehensive systematic analysis of current legislation. It is indicated that new areas of activity, which are primarily informational, carry certain risks and threats to the existing system of social order and normative regulation. It is noted that information acquires great significance for change and improvement of various branches of legal practice. Information technologies are transforming the existing ways of producing and consuming products, including contributing to the emergence of new information objects in the virtual environment. Information and information technologies stimulate positive societal changes and create a need for developing unique views and scientific rethinking of the possibilities of using the virtual environment. It is determined that the main principles (fundamentals) of legal regulation of information relations could be more problematic to present in the form of an exhaustive list. The principles of legal regulation of information security are considered. The basic principles of legislation in the field of information, information technologies, systems, resources, infrastructure and their protection under conditions of digitalization may be subject to changes, be filled with updated content and receive different interpretations. The highest dynamics characterize information relations in the public and legal sphere. Criteria are formulated for selecting the system of principles of normative regulation of information in digital form, taking into account the possibility of using information technologies: connection with the objects of information activity, the definition of the scope of implementation, and unified reflection of private and public interests. A threelevel system of principles of public law regulation of information (general, informational, scientific) is proposed in the context of information activities related to information technologies.
