Abstract

The article examines the legal regime of online rallies that are rapidly gaining popularity. The author comes to conclusions about the possibility of defining these actions as public events and the need for their regulation in order to protect the rights of Internet demonstrators and other persons. The tendency of increasing influence of digital companies on the sphere of freedom of Assembly is particularly noted. Based on a comparative analysis of the conditions for holding Internet events and their traditional analogues, the paper substantiates the feasibility of applying special procedural rules to online events that take into account the quasi-public nature of individual Internet resources and the reflection of digital copies of localities in them. The author emphasizes that the regulation of online actions should be based on a fundamentally new concept of the risks of freedom of Assembly on the Internet.
