Digital Public Events in the Constitutional Paradigm of Individual Rights and Freedoms

Abstract

The phenomenon of digital transformation of the legal system in an extraordinary situation is changing the traditional mechanism to implement public-political rights and freedoms. The restrictions imposed by the state cause the emergence of new forms of public events in the information and telecommunications network “Internet”. It has been established that currently the law enforcement officer is carrying out advanced legal regulation of online events due to the lack of a legislative framework for the implementation of the constitutional right to public events in the digital space. In this vector, a legal comprehension of the multifaceted legal nature of digital public events seems appropriate. The use of both general scientific and special methods of cognition: the formal legal method and the comparative method in the study of traditional actions and online events allowed us to identify not only the criteria for the admissibility of their conduct in the digital environment, but also to determine the trajectory of the development of the regulatory framework for the organization and conduct of digital public events. The article gives a legal assessment of this legal category. A comparative analysis is carried out between the classical form of holding public events and events in a remote format. The problems of legal regulation of such a format of public events are revealed. In this context, a set of legal transformations is proposed that synthesize the traditional model of the implementation of the constitutional right to public events in the digital field.
