Abstract

The article is devoted to the actual issue of the present related to the formation of the information society. In the basis of the study, the author put a philosophical concept, the essence of which is to recognize the hypothesis that modern civilization in the mid-50ʼs entered the third era of genesis – informational, which is the next after the agrarian and industr. Its essence is the separation of information (intangible substance) as determinant in the relationship in human society, between society and state, man and state, people between themselves. If the previous two stages of human development were firmly tied to the object of activity (land or means of operation – machines and mechanisms), today the information has become universal. Proceeding from the fact that the United States is the undisputed global leader in the development of advanced technologies and economic development, not only purely from an economic point of view, but also from an ideological and philosophical point of view, the author thoroughly examines the US experience in defining the philosophical and legal principles and the introduction of a protection mechanism rights and freedoms of citizens within the information space. Based on the results of the study, the conclusion was made on the necessity of implementation of this experience in the legislative and enforcement activities of the domestic bodies of state power.
