Relevant proposals were made: Change the procedure for special regulation of the digital environment and make changes and additions to the Digital Code, including changing the wording of Article 21 “Digital data, digital records and digital resources that are objects of digital interaction”, adding obligations of subjects of legal relations to Article 26 in the digital environment in the form of compliance with legal requirements, in the field of digital ecosystems, detail Article 2, include separate sections in the field of electronic state, electronic commerce, inheritance of digital rights. In the field of digital citizenship, develop a full-fledged program with a detailed description of what digital citizenship is, its capabilities, functions, and software. Additionally, develop and adopt legal acts (in the format of a law) in the field of critical information infrastructure with the designation of objects, subjects, principles of critical infrastructure, security systems, etc. Create a register of critical information infrastructure objects.
Conclusion. Digital law is becoming a key area for improving legislation in the field of information technology, where it needs to be adapted to the existing realities.
