Problems of determining the legal nature of information terrorism

Abstract

Currently, under the influence of information technology, many well-known phenomena are undergoing changes, including the phenomenon of terrorism. The definition of the concept of information terrorism in the national legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan does not exist, which creates difficulties in its qualifications and, accordingly, in bringing to justice.In this regard, legal scholars began to focus on the disclosure and analysis of this phenomenon, which contributed to the development of approaches according to which information terrorism was included in the existing classification of forms and types of terrorism. Problems of determining the legal nature of information terrorism are aggravated by the fact that there is no single definition in determining the nature of information. That is, the authors are divided in their opinion, which is analyzed in this article. The author attempted not only to analyze the existing points of view, but also to offer his own vision of the legal nature of information terrorism.
Key words: terrorism, information, Internet, society, cyberspace, nature, essence.
