REFLECTED RISKS OF NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS (THE RUSSIAN YOUTH ONLINE SURVEY RESULTS)

The author revises the latest risks and threats associated with technologization of the information and communication sphere, and presents the main directions of scientific theorization in this area. Special attention is paid to the new challenges, which have not yet been reflected as threats in the scientific community or in the political and legal documents of the Russian Federation, such as: Big Data analysis technologies, the transition from the "social Web" (Web 2.0) to the "cognitive Web"
(Web 3.0), the augmented reality technologies, and transmedia content delivery. It is concluded that the presence of identified risks in the young people network communication process necessitates their neutralization practices formation and negative impact minimization. In this regard, the article actualizes the empirical analysis of young people's reflexive evaluation of their own safety in the network communications process. The article presents the results of the online survey involving young Russian users of the social network "Vkontakte". The survey enabled to draw a conclusion that the majority of young people tend not to fix or to ignore risks and threats in the network communications process, noting that they rarely or almost never faced the latter. The author confirms the hypothesis of young people's safety in the Network differentiated perception, which correlates with their socio-demographic indicators and values.
