Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
The widespread use of digital technologies and communications in various industries and spheres of public life has become a dominant factor in the creation of a single information space capable of influencing mass consciousness and the formation of certain social groups. At the same time, unfortunately, progress in the IT sector has become one of the fundamental factors initiating the spread of propaganda of the ideology of terrorism and extremism. Terrorist and extremist crimes occupy a special place in the structure of general crime. Over the past few years, there have been no stable downward trends in the dynamics of this indicator. The crimes in question have always been and remain socially dangerous, their commission is accompanied by indelible social upheavals and consequences, colossal material costs, and, what is most frightening, irreparable losses of human lives. In the context of the modern transformation of social relations, the study of problematic aspects of counteracting the ideology of terrorism and extremism, including their current manifestations through information and telecommunication technologies, in particular the Internet, seems timely and relevant.
