New opportunities and challenges are emerging thanks to the growing Internet importance and social media usage. Although practitioners have already recognized the strategic dimension of e-reputation and the power of social media, academic research is still in its infancy when it comes to e-reputation determinants in a social networks context. A study was conducted in the sports setting to explore the impact of social networks on the sportspeople's e-reputation. Whereas the study emphasized (1) the influence of social networks' perception on the sportspeople's e-reputation, and the neutral roles of (2) the motives for following sportspeople online, and (3) the negative content on the Internet, additional insights are formulated on maintaining, restoring and managing e-reputation on social networks. Finally, future research directions are suggested on the role of image to control e-reputation.

Social networks are a way of creating a virtual identity and entering into relationships with strangers in a series of interactions that were not known to a man before the existence of the Internet. Mobile phones and the virtual world often create a personality of a person that is not the same in the real world. It can be said that technology has changed the course of humanity and human consciousness and contributed to many changes in the mentality of society, especially among the youth. Children are often overwhelmed by materialism and jealousy, which further encourages them to become an unconscious, immoral and unambitious population. One of the negative effects of social networks is the abuse of privacy, which is also becoming a growing problem everywhere in the world and should not be ignored. However, a positive attitude should be maintained when it comes to social networks, because they facilitate communication, access to information and learning, greater availability of services and free advertising of some products or services. High school students use the Internet intensively every day, and the work raises the question of whether they use it constructively or destructively. The research was conducted in 2019, the population of high school students was observed and 100 students were included on the territory of Belgrade, Niš and Vitina.

The main directions of destructive information and psychological influence of the enemy on the population of Ukraine, leaders and personnel of the military administration, the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other law enforcement agencies, issues of the analysis of the dissemination of information messages (content) of the electronic media which contain the destructive information and psychological impact are considered. The model of social networks as a means of mass communication, which is used for the realization of destructive information and psychological influence is considered. The main components of the model are the user, his thoughts (views), influence, trust and reputation. The process of influencing to the user by means of social networks through innovation and its dissemination is considered. Indicators that can be used to characterize the process and to evaluate the impact: “likes”, “dislikes”, “reposts”, “views”, and “comments” are also provided. The process of tracking the destructive influences contained in information messages from the point of view of destructive informational and psychological influence is described. The system of indicators of dynamics of distribution of information messages on the Internet is analyzed. The necessity of fixing on certain points of time and use of additional indicators: “number of drawings”, “absolute growth”, “growth rate”, “growth rate” is grounded and the order of their calculation is given. The logical and structural scheme of calculating the dynamics of information message dissemination by means of the Internet has been developed. It is determined that to solve the problem of automation of tracking and visualization of the dynamics of information dissemination requires specialized software that will read the primary indicators from certain publications of electronic communications and social networks and calculate the proposed indicators of the dynamics of information message propagation.

This article examines the role of the new media and social networks as a factor in the development of deliberative democracy. In the late 1990s, it was thought that the communication revolution would be a way to overcome the crisis of representative democracy. With the development of the Internet, the transition from a hierarchical model of communications to a network was supposed to bring changes to the sphere of politics. New media and social networks should guarantee ac- cess of civil society to the political public sphere and help narrow the gap between the elite and the people. Requirements are being formulated to increase the transparency and accountability of state institutions, and to strengthen policy control. It was believed that the Internet will become a place where the principles of deliberative democracy will be embodied. But now we should admit that the new media development causes disappointment, and a times anxiety. Instead of the growth of public discussions, we may encounter “echo chambers”, a victim of the essence of information for effect, which as a result, leads to the radicalization of citizens. Governments and IT-corporations exploit the increased capabilities of social networks and Big Data to control and manipulate information, which jeopardizes the possibility of free discussion. The impact on emotions and simple slogans turned out to be more acceptable in the Internet age than a reflec- tive discussion on social issues. The communication revolution has led to changes in the public sphere, but at the same time, it can lead to the erosion of democracy.
