THE INTERNET AS AN ENVIRONMENT FOR POLITICAL COMMUNICATION: PROSPECTS AND CONTRADICTIONS
Abstract
The rapid development of communications technologies observed at the turn of the century significantly facilitated the production and dissemination of socially significant information, marking the beginning of the emergence of a truly global information space. By connecting millions of people, modern communications have gained the ability to dictate behavioral standards, shape and formulate public opinion, and focus individuals' efforts on achieving socially significant goals. By transmitting previously unimaginable volumes of information, they now exert a significant influence not only on individual users, as was the case at the dawn of computer networks, but on various aspects of society as a whole, including political relations. The development of communications, which became the foundation of the information society, has significantly changed the nature of political communication, and the widespread use of computer networks has led to the emergence of political technologies that allow this process to reach a qualitatively new level.
