False, fabricated, and fake information negatively affects the audience's consciousness, disrupting various relationships between people, existing rules, values, and traditions in society. Moreover, today, not only news published on social networks, but also in serious electronic media, especially news sites, often contain false information. This leads to consumers of news content accepting them without analyzing them and blindly believing them. Also, "in recent years, the media has become a means of exchanging ideas rather than information transmission channels. With the increasing activity of bloggers on social networks, the opinions of public leaders are gradually drawing the audience away from traditional media and Internet information resources. Materials brought to the attention of the public on social networks, blogs, forums, photo and video hosting are widely discussed among users. Modern means of communication are increasingly becoming sources of information that is disseminated unverified or based on rumors[1]. The intensification of various types of information conflicts in the world in the 21st century has increased the interest of philosophers, sociologists, and lawyers in this problem. Conflicts arise as a result of fundamental changes in human society, a clash of interests, and a mismatch of goals, and unfortunately leave many victims in their wake. If earlier there was talk of eliminating conflicts, now there is talk of managing them. To achieve success in this regard, it is necessary to systematize existing knowledge and enrich approaches, and increase citizens' awareness of conflicts. The media play a significant role in 59 МЕЖДУНАРОДНАЯ КОНФЕРЕНЦИЯ АКАДЕМИЧЕСКИХ НАУК revealing the essence of conflicts, explaining to citizens the content of social conflicts, and, if necessary, in conducting mediation activities to reconcile people and groups involved in conflict. The availability and effectiveness of information are related to such basic consumer quality indicators as its content, adequacy, relevance, timeliness, accuracy, reliability, and stability: a) representativeness of information - is associated with its correct selection and formation in order to adequately express the nature of the object; b) meaningfulness of information - expresses its semantic (content) volume; c) sufficiency (completeness) of information - indicates that it has a minimum, but sufficient content (set of indicators) for decision-making. Incomplete, that is, insufficient, as well as excessive information in the process of making the right decision reduces the effectiveness of the user's decisions; d) relevance of information - is determined by the preservation of its value for management during the use of information and depends on the dynamics of changes in its properties, as well as the time interval that has elapsed since the appearance of this information; d) timeliness of information - indicates that it is received without delay from the agreed upon time for solving a previously defined task; e) accuracy of information - is determined by the degree of proximity of the received information to the real state of the object, process, event, etc.; j) reliability of information - is determined by the property of information to represent real existing objects with the necessary accuracy. Speaking about the global danger of social networks, it is necessary to pay attention to the following vices that are regularly and constantly spread through them: calls by terrorist and extremist groups to oppose their homeland and people; instructions on how to use drugs and military weapons; various pornographic pictures and films; well-founded and unfounded information that serves the interests of certain groups; elements of "popular culture" that do not correspond to national values at all; online games that promote cruelty, etc. As is known, in each social network there is an opportunity to make as many friends as you want, become a member of various groups, visit shared links, "like" distributed materials, and promote your own views. This further increases the likelihood of danger. Any scientific discovery has more or less negative consequences, and humanity is always trying to reduce these consequences. The invention of the airplane later led to the invention of the parachute, and the creation of cars led to the emergence of traffic rules and traffic safety measures. At a time when 60 МЕЖДУНАРОДНАЯ КОНФЕРЕНЦИЯ АКАДЕМИЧЕСКИХ НАУК social networks are becoming a powerful weapon in the hands of various evil forces, it is advisable to jointly develop and popularize modern, reliable methods of protection against them. According to journalist Rustam Jabbarov[2], the most correct way to prevent such dangers is not to restrict social networks or the Internet, as in some countries.
