Features of the information policy of modern Russia: challenges and threats

Introduction. The modern world is experiencing a powerful wave of digitalization, indicating that the information society is already becoming an unreality, ceasing to be a scientific myth. Materials and methods. The realities of the information society require a special approach from the authorities and the public in the implementation of strategic plans for the development of the state. It is the development of digital technologies that forces the authorities to review existing security protocols and build new tactics to combat the latest threats and challenges that constantly arise during the development and dissemination of these technologies. Results and discussion. Most often, the public pays attention to the positive, leaving the negative out of the brackets of their attention and evaluation. This is used by those who are involved in the competition using high technologies. And this competition is not always open and honest. However, there is currently no single (already well-defined) protocol for combating the challenges and threats of digitalization. In principle, the information policy pursued by the state should be aimed at eliminating these shortcomings. Conclusion. This paper is devoted to the analysis of existing challenges and threats related to the process of digitalization of modern society and the political system as a whole.
