Today in the world, the prevalence of information and telecommunication technologies (ICT) and the Internet contribute to the development of new strategies for work behavior among the population, when less formal rules are applied. This leads to the expansion of the socio-economic space of the city beyond the geographical territory. In modern society, there is a rapid development of the service sector. The introduction of modern technology allows the use of a variety of employment models. The number of temporary workers in the organization's staff is increasing. The development of informal employment and self-employment has resulted in freelance as a new model of employment in the labor market. Unwillingness to work in an office with set hours, search for freedom in allocation of time and work, an increased interest in new technologies, are the reasons for choosing freelance as a labor strategy for young people. The article analyzes the work of domestic and foreign researchers and official statistics in the field of labor and employment. The methodological basis of the study was an online survey of 300 respondents employed in freelance and living in the city of Ulyanovsk, conducted in February–April 2018. For the analysis of empirical data, the IBM SPSS Statistics program was used. The study identified the features of freelancing in the modern labor market in the socio-economic space of the city of Ulyanovsk, revealed the degree of youth involvement in the freelance sphere, the motives for choosing freelancing as a labor strategy, described the current problems and risks faced by freelancers. The hypothesis is confirmed that the spread of freelance as a new model of employment in the labor market is due to the transformation of labor and employment processes, as well as due to the development of information and communication technologies, in particular the Internet, which allows individuals to work outside the office.

Introduction. The author aims to analyze the phenomenon of information interference with national political processes in the conditions of the contemporary information society and the evolution of the Internet as a space of political communications. The article shows that the digital information intervention is relevant and at the same time, a complex multidimensional phenomenon of contemporary politics. In many respects, the potential of the digital interference phenomenon is closely related to the essential features of functioning and the transformation of the contemporary Internet, which has been actively used when changing political regimes in many countries. The problem of information security and sovereignty of the present state on the Internet is becoming one of the most urgent in the conditions of the rapid development of information and communication technologies. Methods and materials. The issues identified in the article are investigated using the methods of comparative, structural-functional and normative analysis, included observation, as well as the case-study method. The method of scientific forecasting and scripting techniques has allowed to form a scenario for the effective settlement of international conflicts in the field of information security. The empirical base of the study is reports of foreign experts, official materials of state authorities of the Russian Federation and foreign countries, reports of Freedom House international organization, official speeches and statements by the heads of state on the issues outlined in the work. Analysis. Countering external information expansion is becoming one of the most critical tasks of effective political governance at the state level to preserve the sovereignty of the national political communication space, including domestic segments of the Internet. The initiatives of states to form the sovereign national segments of the Internet space are, on the one hand, an attempt to protect their political systems from external influence and invasion, to ensure their own political stability, and on the other hand, they create risks for the democratic potential of the Internet. The article substantiates the thesis that the phenomenon of interference in elections in actual practice often becomes not so much an objective process as an instrument of information warfare, mass political propaganda and discrediting political opponents, a manipulative tool that can be actively used not only by authoritarian regimes with a low level of democratic development. Results. The study shows that differences in understanding and defining the essence of the Internet by various countries give rise to a significant potential for political conflicts on a global scale. This circumstance leads the author to the conclusion that it is necessary to form international institutions capable of preventing and regulating information conflicts in the Internet space, as well as reducing global political risks (including risks associated with potential interference in the electoral process of sovereign states). The implementation of this scenario will allow forming a collective responsibility in the functioning of the global Internet.

The way of life has changed with the introduction of information and communication technologies (ICT) in every one’s day to day activities and the business. As ICT technologies are constantly evolving, many people attribute the success of enterprises to the ways they deploy and take advantage of new technologies, not only to make their operations more efficient but most importantly to refine and adopt new effective and adaptive business models. Since the advent of the Internet and the very first Internet service providers (ISP) in operation, the traditional ISP market has been in constant evolution due to the gradual globalisation and commoditisation of ISP services. Deregulation and ICT policies have fostered competition (e.g., unbundling of the local loop and so forth) as well. The Internet is as an important channel of interaction inside and/or outside enterprises. The essence of the Internet is conducting business and running of business processes over data communication networks based on nonproprietary standards (Porter, 2001). The World Wide Web as a portal represents a major electronic business (e-business) platform accessed through communication channels provisioned by network and service providers (such as ISDN, DSL, WLAN, UMTS, etc.). There are many challenging aspects of the e-Business that must be considered for a sustainable business of an ISP (Petrie et al., 2004).

While communicating on the internet, someone who is more open to express himself without having to hit social norms is commonly found indirect interaction. This has a huge influence on the millennial generation which is characterized by the phenomenon of online disinhibition effects / online disinhibited effects, disinhibition is an absence of boundaries in conversations, where online users can access and use their emotions personally with newly recognized online users. According to Suler (2004), activities such as these are called benign or disinhibited disinhibitions that are harmless, making Millennials easily use harsh words, cruel, challenging, hateful, even opposing criticism. In addition, they are also added to those released from dangerous internet sites such as pornographic sites, crime or violence are activities that contain toxic or disinhibition that is dangerous (Suler, 2004). Increasing cyberbullying in the city has become a major factor for designers to progressively cyberbullying, as a new educational forum using Virtual Reality, as a form of simulation to counter cyberbullying in the hope of creating public interest and participation for teenagers and cyberbullying people, exchange ideas in the form of a Community Center. AbstrakPesatnya perkembangan teknologi, menciptakan gap yang sangat besar pada generasi sebelumnya. Ditandai dengan adanya internet yang memudahkan para pengguna dapat saling berinteraksi tanpa batas. Selama berinteraksi di internet, seseorang cenderung lebih terbuka untuk mengespresikan dirinya tanpa harus terbentur norma-norma sosial yang biasa ditemukan pada interaksi langsung. Hal ini membawa pengaruh yang sangat besar pada generasi milenial yang ditandai dengan munculnya fenomena  efek disinhibisi online/online disinhibition effects, disinhibisi merupakan suatu ketiadaan batas dalam berkomunikasi, dimana online user dapat lebih terbuka dan mengekspresikan emosinya secara personal dengan sesama online user yang baru dikenal. Menurut Suler (2004), aktivitas seperti ini disebut dengan benign disinhibition atau disinhibisi yang tidak berbahaya, membuat Generasi Millennial mudah menggunakan kata-kata kasar, kritik yang kejam, kemarahan, kebencian, bahkan ancaman terhadap orang lain. Selain itu ditambah juga mereka yang mengunjungi sisi gelap internet seperti website pornografi, kriminal atau kekerasan yaitu aktivitas yang merupakan sebagai toxic disinhibition atau disinhibisi yang berbahaya ( Suler, 2004).
