LEGISLATIVE REGULATION OF INFORMATION-COMMUNICATION ACTIVICY AS GUARANTEE OF INFORMATION SECURITY

Abstract

The article considers the legislative basis of Ukraine's information policy, analyzes the problematic moments that arose in connection with the information aggression of the Russian Federation, examines the ways of improving the domestic content and ways of counteracting information aggression in today's conditions. The urgency of the topic is due to the lack of the established information space of our state and the gaps in the legal regulation of activities in the information sphere, in particular on the Internet, which provokes a subjective interpretation of the Ukrainian issue both in the middle of the country and beyond its borders. The inability to protect and effectively counteract information aggression levels all previous attempts by the government to establish a dialogue with the public and advocate its position abroad. Instead, the mass media and the Internet network are actively used for anti-power and anti-Ukrainian activities as a means of loosening society, as an indicator of fictitious negligence of Russian authorities in the Ukrainian issue. In Ukraine, during the period of independence, problems of the development of the information sphere have been formed and continue to exist, which is due to excessive commercialization and low level of responsibility of mass media to the society, as well as the socio-political and economic effects. Such an unprecedented amount of information aggression is a threat to the whole world. The society and the government still do not understand the whole power of information influence and the consequences which are behind them. Qualitative legislative regulation is not a panacea for the information virus, but will allow to be protected from explicit attacks from Russia. Thus, conducting a series of «non-paper» reforms, providing access to true information, disseminating high-quality Ukrainian-language content on the television, and conducting bilateral communications on the television, open cooperation with foreign mass media, attracting qualified specialists will contribute to strengthening the internal and external information space of the Ukrainian state and will allow to conduct effective information war with the aggressor. World leaders must realize that their power in unity and the best evidence of this will be open information interaction, exchange of limited information, return to ideological and ethnic roots in order to strengthen their identity and self-awareness.
