The article examines such phenomena as a blog and a blogger on the basis of legislation and doctrine. Attention is drawn to the lack of a general legal and civil status of a blogger. A retrospective analysis of the legislation has been carried out. The novelty of the conducted research lies in the fact that the category of “blogger” is presented from the standpoint of various legislation (informational, civil, tax).
The purpose of the article is to identify the state and problems of legal regulation of bloggers’ activities, to formulate proposals for improving legislation. The objectives of the research include the analysis of legal norms and the identification of gaps regarding the regulation of the activities and status of bloggers, the identification of ways to reform legislation, the analysis of scientific literature on this topic.
Research methods: formal-logical, formal-legal, systemic and intersectoral analysis.
As a result of the conducted research, the problems of legal regulation of bloggers’ activities are shown: the lack of legal concepts of a blog and a blogger from the point of view of general legal and civil law legislation; the lack of separation of bloggers by general legal status (individual, individual entrepreneur, self-employed citizen, legal entity); ambiguity in the requirements for taxation of bloggers. The activities of individual bloggers are profitable, not entrepreneurial. The concepts of “blog” and “blogger” are formulated.
