Abstract

The problem of protecting the rights and freedoms of citizens in the digital space today is considered mainly from the legal and information technology points of view, while neglecting the assessment of the socio-political consequences for civil society of the forced introduction of digital technologies. Digital power, de facto appropriated by individual representatives of the IT community, begins to compete with political power for the opportunity to determine the boundaries of citizens' rights and freedoms in the digital space. Discrimination of digital rights of citizens is fraught with an increase in social tension, destabilization of civil society and an increase in protest activity of the population. The delay in legitimizing the legal constraints on the actions of IT specialists dictates the introduction of elements of self-regulation in the relationship between the state, civil society and the IT community, as part of civil society, on the terms of partnership. To implement the process of self-regulation of the digital industry, it is proposed to recognize the principle of the divisibility of citizens' rights in the digital space, depending on the need to achieve certain national priorities in the corresponding period of socio-economic development of the state. In addition, civil society could assume part of the responsibility for the activities of the IT industry related to jointly developed political decisions on the functioning of the self-regulatory space.
