The authors analyzed the legal side of the issue of ensuring information security within the framework of countering destructive, including the so-called “fake” information. It is noted that the legal regulation in this area has a number of gaps, the presence of which creates procedural difficulties in identifying such content and imposing penalties for its distribution. At the same time, it was noted that this problem is relevant both for Russian lawmaking and for foreign and international law. The article indicates that an interdisciplinary study of the phenomenon of disinformation and "fake information" is required, including the technological, legal, and journalistic aspects in order to understand the essence of this phenomenon, normative consolidation of a unified categorical apparatus in the designated area. It was also noted that there is a need to involve all stakeholders, taking into account the principle of "multistakeholderism" and selfregulation of the global Internet space, with the involvement of representatives of civil society, business structures, the private sector, representatives of the IT industry, as well as state governments. The study revealed the need for interstate cooperation in order to develop and adopt an international mechanism for cooperation in countering disinformation. This will make it possible to create a unified comprehensive mechanism that includes international legal and technological standards.
