Abstract

Abstract. The article is devoted to the issues of regulating behavior in the information space. It is shown that the information space is a specific space created by man. It is the youngest of the five spaces in which a social person is realized, but at the same time it permeates all the other four. One of the functional purposes of the information space is that it makes possible and simplifies interpersonal communication, and is also a medium for the dissemination of information. From a cultural point of view, the emergence, formation and functioning of the information space is a natural process of responding to cardinal modern social changes, as was the case with the invention of writing, printing, radio and television, which had visible landscape consequences for the entire culture. The development of technologies today changes the way of life and everyday behavioral algorithms, and also forms a new type of person - a digital person and new modes of a person. All this affects the modification of established social phenomena, such as citizenship, humanism, ethics. Therefore, today it is quite correct to talk about "digital citizenship", "digital ethics" and "digital humanism", which in turn indicates ontological changes in social life, the modification of the principles and rules of behavior of individuals, the formation and functioning of new individual and social ones, which occurs as a result of the destruction or upgrade of traditional cultural traditions, moral norms, etc. What is common to digital citizenship, information ethics and digital humanism is that they assume responsible behavior of a person in the digital world. Such behavior should be built on conscious moral principles. In the absence of such conscious behavior and failure to comply with the desired rules of behavior, legal regulation.
