Abstract

The results of studying the attitude of the population to the confidentiality of personal data on the Internet are presented. In empirical terms, this article is based on a representative survey of the Moscow population of May‒June 2020. It is recorded that the practice of presenting personal information when using various Internet services has become widespread. At the same time, two-thirds of the respondents expressed concerns about the security of personal information on the Internet. According to a binary regression model, the strongest predictors of this anxiety correlate with the prevailing privacy attitudes among respondents, practices of leaving personal information on the network (primarily about one’s children), negative assessments of security provision as a norm of life in a democratic society, and general dissatisfaction with the functioning of the political system.
