However, this process has significant drawbacks and carries serious threats, such as: the development of cybercrime, the emergence of new methods of conducting information wars, the spread of illegal content, the erosion of the foundations of national identity, culture and values, etc. The relevance of the work lies in the fact that it is no longer a myth, and today’s realities have become the so-called “fake news”, which is false or falsely interpreted information that is presented as real news and misleading, the consequences of which can be very tragic.
