Abstract

Purpose: The article is devoted to the study of digital citizenship, the legal status of a digital citizen. The authors expressed their vision on these concepts and implementation on the example of some states. Design/Methodology/Approach: The findings of the study are based on personal observations and legal experiments conducted by the authors on the effectiveness of some of the powers of a digital citizen. Findings: In the course of the study, it was determined that the ability to maximize one’s own capabilities, including in the digital environment, is an important criterion for a person’s competitiveness both in the labor market and in everyday life. A significant part of citizens actively interacts not only with each other, but also with the state through digital forms. Originality/Value: Digital citizenship provides a person with certain rights and obligations in relations with the state. The most important advantage of digital citizenship is the ability to exercise the human right to receive certain services without a personal visit to social structures. Of course, this is quite convenient, since it is not necessary to significantly strain yourself on trips to state and municipal institutions, many state and municipal services can be obtained without leaving your home, via the Internet, using blockchain technology. Digital citizenship is essential to a democratic environment. The authors expressed their position on how to determine the degree and prospects for the development of digital citizenship.
