Objectives:
In this article, the term 'cyberlaw' does not refer to the law governing activities in cyberspace. Instead, it is used in relation to legal systems whose understanding and functioning are currently undergoing changes due to the impact of cyberspace on the real world of human activity. Although formally the law remains the same as in the past, it has changed in terms of its content and impact on society and continues to undergo radical changes.
Methods:
The method used to study cyber law involves observing the social transformation from voluntary interpersonal relationships to automated and anonymised inter-system interactions of a deterministic nature, and drawing realistic and rational conclusions from this transformation.
Results:
The result of the study is the revelation of the specificity of cyber law as resulting from the technological conditions of cyberspace, as opposed to the law functioning in real space and corresponding to the ethical sensitivity of people living in the real world.
Conclusions:
Cyberspace includes mechanisms that enable direct regulation of everything within and outside it. One of the results of cybernetization is that everything that becomes easier through the use of digital and network technologies also becomes subject to control. The law is also undergoing this process. Losing its identity, it both regulates and is itself regulated in the process of governance. The governance of law-making, application and enforcement reveals its instrumentalisation. This means treating the law as just another resource. It is a resource of technical means used for social control.
