Abstract

The article studies the kinds and specificities of virtual communities along with the capabilities of adverse effects of multivector representation of virtual communities on state institutions and security. The value of the security as a priori basic vital necessity is implicitly emphasized. The article aims to define the distinguishing features of virtual communities to understand their operational principles in the frame of modern communication culture and to outline threats and risks for a society coming from virtual communities. Protecting information becomes a priority for national and global security. Infosecurity, infosphere, and info sovereignty are constituents of the cultural code of national security. Key message claims that virtual community (as an embodiment of anonymity, mixed identity, artificial status, kitsch, etc.) is a powerful tool for information and communication discord, which poses a threat to both personal and national security.
