Current Problems of Combat Extremism in the Information Environment
( Pp. 87-91)

Abstract: Extremism is currently spreading in completely different spheres of the life of society and the state, and one of the most popular sphere at present is the information environment. Taking into consideration the significant increase in the importance of information for a modern person, information relations most dynamically respond to all processes taking place in society and the state. Such dynamics is also actively used by extremist organizations, which are actively involved in the illegal and criminal activities of participants in information relations in various forms. The purpose of the presented study is to analyze the existing mechanisms for combating extremism in the information environment, identify problems and determine ways to solve them. The author comes to the conclusion that for the effectiveness of anti-extremist activities, it is of fundamental importance to take into account the specifics of the development of the information environment at the present time and to identify current trends in the spread of extremist ideas and views, taking into account emerging challenges and threats on an international and domestic scale. Attention is focused on such problems of combating extremism as the orientation of anti-extremist activities, for the most part, towards the process of identifying and suppressing acts of this direction; the dynamics of the transformation of extremist behavior in the information environment, which is far from always taken into account in anti-extremist activities; the complexity of the mechanisms for restricting and prohibiting access to specific extremist materials. It is noted that they need to be resolved as soon as possible in order to fully use the potential of combating extremism in the information environment.
