Abstract: The article examines the theoretical and applied problems of the prohibition of the use of the information and telecommunications network "Internet" by a suspect or accused when choosing a preventive measure in the form of a ban on certain actions, bail or house arrest; analyzes, in connection with the fundamental rights and freedoms of man and citizen, the changes introduced by Federal Law No. 72-FZ of 18.04.2018 changes in The Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation; thematic judicial practice is given; legal solutions aimed at optimizing the current legislation and the practice of its application are proposed, while legal issues are correlated with the role of the Internet in modern society and human life. According to the results of the study, the authors come to the conclusion that the legal stereotypes that have existed for a long time about the inseparable connection of the restriction of the constitutional right to freedom when placed under house arrest with other restrictions of constitutional rights, although not explicitly specified in the law, are actually applied to a suspect or accused under house arrest. Among such restrictions, we will find, for example, a ban on performing labor (official) duties, searching for and receiving information, various types of creative activity (literature, painting, science, technology, etc.). These restrictions could have been formed only in a "pre-digital" society and therefore require revision.

Abstract: The author attempted to correlate the services provided without consumer consent and unnecessary services with the existing criminal legal prohibition.  These services may take place in medicine, legal counseling, housing and utilities, in the cell phone market, etc.  IN such cases it is not the issue that a customer fails to have a service he paid for, or does not get it in full, as it would be the case with theft or fraud.  In the opinion of the author the novel form of taking property away from a person, and it cannot be directly qualified in legal terms. The danger of such services forced upon a customer that in each case the damage is rather small, so it does not cause legal consequences for the perpetrators due to the absence of initiative of the consumers.  That is why these services keep developing unconstrained and take upon new territories.
