Abstract: The authors discuss the provision of appropriate counteractions to the proliferation of the data prohibited by the law, including defamation, on the Internet. This phenomenon has become a serious problem and an information safety threat for almost everyone. Information safety often presupposes certain limits which the state imposes on the information exchange. The existing legal measures for preventing Internet defamation are not enough, since the structure and the ideology of social networks make the existing legal procedures ineffective. The authors apply the methods of analysis, synthesis, modeling, forecasting, the statistical and sociological methods, and the principles of integrity of a subject and scientific correctness. The main conclusion of the research is the thesis about the necessity to develop the system of measures of administrative and criminal liability for Internet defamation. Such measures shouldn’t threaten information rights and freedoms of other subjects of activity in the Russian segment of the Internet, and should be only used for the increase of efficiency of prevention of any amoral or illegal actions.
