improvement of pedagogical mechanisms of

protection of future specialists from the influence

of harmful information on the basis of national

education, development of moral-prophylactic

technologies for the development of “fact

-

checking” skills among

them is important for all

developed countries, including the national

education system of Uzbekistan.

By the 21st century, the momentum

characteristic of the development of information

technologies has moved to the activities of the

mass media and the processes of information

exchange through it. As a result, the event that

happened in a certain place is reaching

information consumers within seconds. This
promptness created an interactive environment

in the society, and the population also had the

opportunity to participate equally in the

information exchange processes. Usually,

consumers of information do not always think

about whether the information they receive or

transmit is correct or incorrect, and do not pay
attention to checking it. In this society, false

information

“fake” is increasing [1].

Recently, in the system of social sciences,

scientists and journalists, experts in information

security have been seriously dealing with the

problem of “fake news”. It should be noted that,

until now, no serious literature has been created

on the issue of “fake news” in Uzbekistan, despite

the few graduation qualification theses and

master’s dissertations written in journalism

majors or various trainings, seminars and
trainings organized for media workers.

“Tod

ay, in the legislation of Uzbekistan, there are

norms on protection of human honor, dignity and

business reputation of the Civil Code, and

“Defamation” norms in the Administrative and

Criminal Codes. In Uzbekistan, the guilty usually

get away with fines, the court rarely imposes

prison sentences. “Basically, the punishment is

applied to those who insulted a person in public

and spread slander about him,” says Ishakov. But

based on today's laws, everyone involved in the

spread of false information should be held

accountable, even ordinary citizens who like and

post offensive or false information on their page.

This practice is used in many countries. For

example, in Russia, lawyer Yuriy Ivanov was
found guilty of reposting an article about the

Second World War with Nazi symbols, and in

2018 he was fined 1,000 rubles. In Uzbekistan,

punishment for reposts is still not applied. Only

the author of the fake can be held responsible.

Users actively commenting, liking, and reposting

them remain unpunished, although, from a legal

point of view, such actions can be evaluated as

efforts to spread unverified information affecting

public institutions, people's lives and safety. On

the other hand, there is no way to deal with
people who support the content of questionable

content. Because of this, you see, there is a legal

tool, the methods of its use have not been

established, because there are ambiguities in the

legal framework.

At the same time, there is also the problem of

searching for an evidence base. The fact is that the

majority of fakes are spread through the Internet,

where it is not always possible to find the source.
In most cases, as soon as the material becomes

"viral", the author removes it from his page

intending to block the source. Therefore, it is

more difficult to catch evil, and it is up to the

victim to prove that the law has been broken.

There is no need to impose additional liability for

fake news propaganda. There is no way to

completely clean the Internet of such content.

“Then what should be done?”

the question arises.

First, it is necessary to improve the existing

mechanism against Internet provocations.

Secondly, it is necessary to control the authors of

fake news more actively [2]. This does not mean

holding everyone accountable one after the other.

The court should deal with those who

intentionally organize conspiracies in society,

whose actions lead to certain negative

consequences.

Experience

shows

that

prosecution is an effective discipline.

From a legal point of view, the conflict between
the mass media of two countries (which we can

observe in the case of Russia and Ukraine) can be

resolved only through an international, for

example, UN court. However, practice shows that

the UN has the right to have any opinion in such

situations, and whether it is true or false, it does

not matter. Because in most cases they agree to be
deceived. Psychologist Ulyana Pereplyotchikova

told UzJournal [3] that certain types of people

cannot stand fake news and that it is easy to

manipulate them. “One day I receiv

ed a message

from a 'friend' who decided to protect me from

danger, in which he shared with me the attention-

grabbing news headlined: “Bananas are infected
with HIV.” I urged him not to spread this

fabrication because it has no basis and told him

briefly about the ways HIV is spread. But my

interlocutor insisted on his words and said, “If

you don't believe, don't believe. “You are alert, so

you are armed”, the psychologist said.

“Unfortunately, there are many people who want

to share false but attractive information. Who are

these people? Why do they do this? In other

words, it could be you and us. Think back, when

was the last time you searched for a source of
information when you wanted to share some

news? Links, scientific articles, reliable primary

data?

Rarely. Many people say “I don't have time

to deal with this”, “What do I have to do?”, “Where

do I look for something?” and so on. This is not

about people who are engaged in such business,

tricks, money, advertising, anti-

advertising. I’m

talking about those who sincerely rush to warn,

save, help”.

Basically, these are those who consider any

opinion other than their own to be authoritative,

those who are subject to other people's opinions

and do not believe in their own strength. These

are people who are suffering, who cannot be free

from fear, who live in constant anxiety. In

addition, those who want to be involved in
important events, because only in this way they

feel their importance. In part, they make a

statement about themselves in this way, but they

spread messages created by others for fear of

criticism and discrimination. Very trusting and

sensitive people are also active in this kind of

work. There are also people who lack bright

impressions in their lives, and they find the

amount of adrenaline they lack by spreading

various rumors and rumors.

Consumers of today’s fake news

-infested social

networks and news sites are divided into two

categories. Some do not care about various

“attractive” publications, while others believe

everything is written and even help to distribute

them. Unfortunately, there are many of them.

How to avoid becoming a victim of fake news

creators and their willing helpers? Advice to

readers of the news is to recheck their reliability,

consult with experts in the relevant fields, ask
yourself whether you want to become a victim of

someone's tricks or not. And those who seek to

“warn” their acquaintances, relatives and friends

should not only recheck the messages, but also

what prompted them to repost it, do they

understand that with such a step they are taking

responsibility for someone's health, even life, and
even if they want to help, they need to think about

how to do it in the right way that does not harm

anyone.

Today, with the rapid development of Internet

technologies, people are turning more and more

to the Internet, including social networks, to keep

up with the world of events and world events. A

completely different environment prevails in

social Internet networks: there are no strict rules

and principles of information selection and

distribution typical of traditional mass media, and
information pluralism is significantly stronger.

According to the latest research, 62% of

Americans follow the news through social

networks, and 14% of them consider social

networks to be the main and most important

means of keeping up with the news. By the end of

2016, the number of Facebook users had reached
1.8 billion, and Twitter users had reached 400

million [4]. Today, this number has increased

significantly.

However, Internet technologies cannot always

boast of the reliability of the distributed

information, they can be a convenient tool for the

distribution of false and even false information

along with reliable and correct information. It

cannot be said that false news is always
embellished. For example, during the last US

presidential elections, social networks, which are

popular among the citizens of this country, were

flooded with “slanderous” messages about both

candidates. Research conducted by Cambridge

University scientists shows that 156 of the most

popular social networks have surpassed the

country’s leading news agencies in terms of

audience coverage.

Thus, it can be seen that the Internet is becoming

the most convenient means of spreading lies and

fake news year after year. On the one hand, if

there are no legal rules for accessing information
platforms of social networks and spreading

information on them, on the other hand,

attention-grabbing headlines of fake news

increase interest in them. This, in turn, serves to

increase the income from advertising platforms.

Therefore, this situation is the basis for

describing fake news as a source of wealth, in
addition to fulfilling a political and ideological

function.

From this point of view, it is necessary to study

the state o

f development of “fact

-

checking” skills

of future foreign language teachers, to research

their informational competence in the fields of

specialization, to develop and implement

innovative methods of pedagogical diagnosis.
