Moreover, there is an urgent issue of the relationship between legal and other types of regulation of modern communication. At the general theoretical and sectoral levels of legal science, one of the key issues is the issue of values. While, on the one hand, the debate is also about the values that modern law should reflect, and on the other hand, it is about the value of the regulatory capabilities of the current law. The research allows concluding that the demand for positive law will only increase, in view of the special role of the state in the modern period, since only effective management through legal regulation will allow adequate resistance of modern challenges, based on the most important values of society.
