Abstract

This paper discusses the problem of the implementation of Internet censorship in the process of legal regulation. Freedom of speech is the bases for the development of personality, which is the grounds for discussing the problems of the modern world, such as restricting freedom on the Internet. The paper emphasizes legal acts and declarations that oppose the restriction of freedom on the Internet, as well as some discrepancies between legislation and the real situation. It is noted that under the conditions of the modern development of society, there is a problem of legal regulation of the order, conditions for the use of telecommunication networks and the protection of the rights and legitimate interests of various entities in the circulation of information in global computer networks. The authors emphasize that taking into account all the positive aspects that make society more open, free, and modern, the Internet also includes a very dangerous segment generating a high degree of vulnerability of public and state interests. In this regard, most states are trying to clearly establish the framework of what is permitted on the Internet, to determine the types of responsibilities for offenses in this area, and to establish sanctions at the legislative level.
