Peculiarities of the Legal Regulation of Access Restrictions to Information Prohibited from Distribution under Federal Legislation in the Russian Federation

The paper examines the key aspects of ensuring the information security of the Russian Federation. Particular attention is devoted to improving legal and organizational mechanisms aimed at restricting the dissemination of prohibited information and shaping a secure knowledge-based information environment. The author highlights that, in recent years, substantial progress has been achieved in the field of information policy in Russia. However, unresolved issues remain, including inconsistencies in terminology, instable and unsettled legal regulation, and the lack of alignment between national legislation and international standards. The proposed recommendations emphasize the necessity of conducting comprehensive legislative monitoring, developing legally consistent definitions, establishing a normative framework for the prevention of information threats, strengthening mechanisms of public-law accountability, ensuring the resilience of national legislation under conditions of global information confrontation, enhancing international cooperation mechanisms, improving legal support for oversight of social networks and digital platforms, creating new regulatory and monitoring bodies, and reconsidering the priorities of state policy in the domain of information security.
