Of particular importance for influencing on social and political processes in the country are the variety of surveys, which have conducted in social networking services. The results of such surveys are used for further decision-making by the actors in the real life. The publication applies the Arrow’s paradox to formalise the processes of conducting surveys in social internet services. Also, the requirements for actor surveys have formulated to reflect public opinion adequately. As a result of the research, measures to counteract strategic manipulations in social networking services have justified. The obtained results can be useful to improve the information security of social networking services.
