Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of such a complex phenomenon as information terrorism, which in modern conditions of development of Ukrainian politics has received extraordinary development and significance, since political groups have received an extremely effective mechanism of influence on the behavior of citizens, authorities endowed with power, society as a whole. Access to information and wide opportunities for its use have become an important resource of political power. And unfortunately, this phenomenon is not fully studied, therefore, there are no relevant recommendations for investigating and counteracting this kind of criminal activity. Modern terrorism is significantly different from the use of terrorist tactics by extremist groups in the past. It is a multifaceted phenomenon that goes beyond the traditional intimidation and use of violence or the threat of its use. It should be noted that today in the world crimes and “big politics” are interconnected. Terrorism is always characterized by a politicized shade, as it manifests itself in the form of political violence, which is carried out in pursuit of a political goal. The presence of a political goal distinguishes terrorism from similar on the objective side of criminal offenses. One can distinguish the main purpose of information terrorism – it’s information impact on the mass consciousness. And this influence is usually carried out in those spheres where different ideas and views are proclaimed, and there is a certain struggle for them. For example, in the philosophical, legal, religious, political sphere, etc. At the same time, the goal is achieved through the use of information technology. Taking into account the specifics of modern society and the availability of information technologies, politicians in their work increasingly use methods of information struggle to achieve their political goals. That allows to significantly increase the efficiency of their activities in such areas, such as: search for money; project financing; propaganda of its goals; collection of information; efficiency, scale of influence on consciousness; dissemination of information material, propaganda; coordination of activities of political groups and the exchange of information for solving common problems; increasing opportunities for the exchange of complex comprehensive information; discrediting political opponents; creating instability in society; programming behavior of people, etc. The main danger of this type of terrorism is that, unlike the classic terrorist attack, it is possible to use unknown terrorist technologies that directly carry out a frightening effect on the mass consciousness. In our opinion, solving the problem of information terrorism consists not only in the use of preventive measures aimed at detecting terrorist attacks in the information space, the reasons and conditions for their implementation, but also the thorough work on controlling the activities of the mass media. It is this complex of actions that should ensure the effectiveness of counteracting law enforcement agencies with information terrorism.
