On Infringements of Right to Privacy Through Information and Communications Technology: Legal and Identity Aspects

摘要

The rapid move to digital platforms of scientific and technical development of modern civilization has brought with it many different issues. One of them is the issue of preserving human privacy of a person who uses in communicative practices technical devices operating on the "artificial intelligence" technologies, which leads to an increase in the number of criminal attacks on his/her data presented on the Internet, and, as a result, infringement of his/her right to privacy. This paper analyzes the reasons for the increasing growth of criminal infringements that happen today in the World Wide Web. It also focuses on their complex and diverse nature. The convergence of external (objective) and internal (subjective) factors determines the transformations that occur to the identity of a modern Internet user. As a result, I conclude, in the conditions of the unraveling fight against cybercrime, the fundamental and legal sciences should pay attention to the concept of "identity", which will help determine the specifics of transformations occurring to Internet users.
