Information warfare in political confrontation strategies

Abstract

The use and intensive implementation of information and communication technologies in all spheres of public life has significantly increased the dependence of society, each individual on the reliability of the functioning of the information infrastructure, the authenticity of the information used, its protection from unauthorized modification, as well as illegal access to it. Modern man, his everyday life have become increasingly dependent on mass communication. Information technologies as a real social resource for human adaptation to life have become actively used to manipulate consciousness. Methods of information management of people have become widespread. The formation of "subordination" of consciousness to the ideas promoted by the mass media is taking place, which makes a person open and defenseless against manipulative technologies.
