REFLECTIONS ON THE IDEA OF JUSTICE AND RIGHTS OF THE POST-INFORMATION SOCIETY

The article examines the problem of the existence of the idea of justice in law and law in the post-information society. The concept of “post-information society”, the stages of its development, key characteristics and the factors that led to the post-information transition are considered. Attention is focused on law as a social regulator and justice as an idea of law and an ethical regulator. A detailed description of the risks and legal dilemmas derived from them, which are predicted to arise during the social conflict between the information flow and the mind and consciousness of a person in the post-information age, is given. F. Webster's conceptual theory of information society development is analyzed. It was determined that the post-information society in its formation goes through two phases: the first is the result of the Fourth Industrial (Digital) Revolution and the wide spread of intellectual technologies; the second is the period that was actively formed with the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic. It has been proven that the final implementation of intelligent technologies in the everyday life of individuals contributes to the effective functioning of the new legal system. The thesis is proved that in the post-information age, law becomes a tool for maintaining power and guarantees benefits from it, and not a universal social regulator. The necessity of finding a new social regulator based on the philosophical and legal categories of “truth” and “justice” has been established. Introduction. The unprecedented technological development of the modern era is capable of prompting a person to rethink much of what in his life was traditionally considered self-evident, to redefine traditional social laws, concepts, ideas and universal human values. The acceleration of the technological capabilities of modern society to adapt to new changes in human life challenges the usual conditions of the functioning of professional activity and education, trade and the sphere of consumption, science and law, which makes the term “information society” partially obsolete in its inherent sense of describing the corresponding state of society. Existing studies primarily focus attention on the general problem of the transition from the information society to the post-information society. Emphasis is placed on the fact that technological development in the post-information society will significantly change the social existence of a person and the peculiarities of its functioning at various levels of social relations (as opposed to the corresponding connections and relations in the information society). Purpose. Study of the phenomenon of the postinformation society and the search for an answer to the problems of social, moral and legal challenges for humanity in the nearest historical perspective. Materials and methods.

Results. The problem of the philosophical and legal category of justice in the post-information society is studied. The concept of “post-information society”, stages of development, key characteristics and those factors are considered. Law is defined as a social regulator.
