The purpose of the academic paper is to analyse the international experience of state regulation of business in social networks and to determine the approach to the model of its implementation. Features of the development of digital technologies make it possible to improve the selection of methods for carrying out the research, which will be based on the use of expert evaluation. The research methodology consists in conducting a comprehensive study of the modern environment of social networks and identifying key areas for state intervention and defining the legal framework for conducting business in social networks. In the course of analysing the state regulation of business in social networks, the search method, induction and deduction, and the empirical method were used.
