Abstract

The paper presents an analysis of Russian legal practice on dissemination of unreliable socially significant information on the Internet. Based on the study of regulatory, law enforcement and linguistic sources, the author provides a legal assessment to information reliability characteristic, delimits it from related phenomena, and formulates the conditions for the realization of a legitimate interest in obtaining reliable information. Particular attention is given to an analysis of cases of bringing citizens to administrative responsibility for the dissemination of deliberately unreliable socially significant information on the Internet. The author concludes that the presumptions of unreliability of digital messages and their threat to public order and safety are widely spread in judicial practice. It is noted that unreliable socially significant information is interpreted in practice through the prism of information that does not correspond to reality, and the burden of proving the truth of messages published on the Internet is, as a rule, on their distributors.
