With the advent and development of technology, personal data is becoming more and more widely available. In modern digital reality, such information can be used against a person. Therefore, states around the world are trying to protect the personal data of their citizens.

Many countries around the world have decided to develop their own national approaches to regulating the use of the Internet. Such attempts have had varying degrees of success and sometimes unexpected consequences. This can be observed in a growing number of countries, where in recent years it has been decided just to restrict access to Internet content.

In this regard, the problem arises of the relationship between information security and human rights, first of all, the right to privacy.
