Grupările de Criminalitate Organizată (GCO) adoptă și integrează cu rapiditate noi tehnologii, în modurile lor de operare, pentru a construi noi modele de afaceri în jurul lor. Utilizarea noilor tehnologii de către GCO‐uri produce un impact asupra activităților infracționale din spectrul criminalității grave și organizate. Acesta include dezvoltări în mediul online, cum ar fi expansiunea comerțului online și o extinsă disponibilitate a canalelor de comunicare criptate, precum și alte aspect ale inovației tehnologice, cum ar fi dronele performante mai ieftine și mai ușor accesibile. Pentru a combate în mod efficient criminalitatea organizată, în Uniunea Europeană, organele de aplicare a legii trebuie să‐și adapteze resursele și tehnologiile, astfel încât să se situeze în prima linie a luptei împotriva infracționalității grave. Organised Criminal Groups (OCGs) quickly adopt and integrate new technologies into their modi operandi or build brand‐new business models around them. The use of new technologies by the OCGs has an impact on criminal activities across the spectrum of serious and organised crime. This includes developments online, such as the expansion of online trade and widespread availability of encripted communication channels, as well as other aspects of technological innovation such us more accessible and cheaper high‐performance drone technology. For combating efficienty the organised crime within the European Union, law enforcement agencies must adapt their resources and technologies in order to be in the front line of fighting against serious crime.

The disinformation campaign is a non‐military measure for achieving political goals, by using false data and destabilising propaganda. Often, outright lies are deployed, aimed at denigrating a particular person, political group, government or intergovernmental organisation, as well as NGOs, mainstream media, elites, experts, the ʺestablishmentʺ, and those taking initiatives to counter disinformation. Both terms, propaganda and disinformation, arouse similar feelings of negative connotations and false, misleading, manipulative communication.

A foreign direct investment (FDI) is an investment in the form of a controlling ownership in a business in one country by an entity based in another country. It is distinguished from a foreign portfolio investment by a notion of direct control by the element of control that is sought.Foreign direct investment is critical for developing and emerging market countries and it benefits the global economy, as well as investors and recipients.However, the fundamental question underlying FDI activities is always this: Why is an investor willing to acquire a foreign firm or build a new factory abroad? Because FDI includes technology and know‐how as well as foreign capital, it came to be seen during this stage as an engine of growth, almost guaranteed to boost the host country’s development.In pursuit of all these potential externalities, governments in many developed and developing countries have, over several decades, substantially reduced barriers to foreign direct investment and offered special incentives to attract foreign firms and foster relationships between multinational enterprises and local firms.

There are many studies in Russia on how the open government and e-democracy should be arranged, what tools they use, what has been done, and what can be done in the future. There is no research, however, on how the public responds to this system and how it can function in the community. This is of major interest because the degree and quality of public involvement is one of the key indices of the efficiency of e-democracy and e-government. Open government and e-democracy expand direct public participation in national life and guarantee effective public control. This is an ideal that all countries’ governments are seeking to attend. Meanwhile, the public has begun to use internet on its own as an instrument of democracy and control. Facebook, vk.com, twitter and other online networks were established more than ten years ago. People feel the necessity of information exchanges, highlighting problems, and uniting for their rights. Present-day users are attached to their networks and their media image. We always look better in the internet than in reality. The inability to tell the difference between the real world and the virtual one have created a phenomenon known as slacktivism, manifest in internet petitions, likes, reposts, statuses, userpics changing with the latest news, and suchlike. However, studies show that low level of media and information literacy leads to the development slaktivizm, what can make instruments of e-democracy less effective. Media and information literacy is indispensable for open government’s sustainable work.
