THE IDEOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS FOR COUNTERING EXTREMIST IDEOLOGIES IN THE INFORMATION ENVIRONMENT

The rapid development of globalization and information technologies has significantly expanded the scope of ideological influence in contemporary society. While digital communication platforms provide unprecedented opportunities for information exchange, they have also become channels for the dissemination of extremist and radical ideologies. This study examines the ideological foundations of countering extremist ideas in the information environment, analyzes the methods employed by extremist organizations in cyberspace, and evaluates the preventive measures implemented in Uzbekistan. The findings indicate that strengthening ideological immunity, promoting religious tolerance, enhancing media literacy, and fostering cooperation among state institutions, civil society organizations, and religious communities are essential factors in preventing radicalization and ensuring social stability.
