Description:

The study builds on the basic idea of the cyberfare state model to show the impact of cyberspace on individuals and their interconnections; i.e., the social networks. In doing so, it shows that the basic characteristics of these segments of the social totality have undergone significant qualitative and quantitative changes in recent decades, shaping their dynamics, malleability and overall impact on state security. Accordingly, the state had to respond to this phenomenon, to which they gave different answers based on their relationship to the rule of law. The states of the smart total control cyberfare state have moved toward Orwellian rule, also using the achievements of cyberspace, while in the case of democratic states the only way forward is to strengthen the capabilities of individuals (users) and increase their knowledge. In the second half of the paper, the author reviews the steps taken to this end.
