Abstract

The conducted analysis of the relevance of the research topic is formulated on the basis of the goal, objectives, review of scientific developments and methods. They emphasize the importance of combating disinformation through the formulation of new types of false information, methods and means of its dissemination. For a better understanding of the process of organizing the use of strategies, a functional and detailed model of the subject area is presented, which displays data flows using the Data Flow Diagram (DFD) notation. The context diagram shows how the basic process of “Defining the role of social media users” based on feedback from “Researcher”, content from “Social media user”. As a result of this process, the “Researcher” will receive evaluated content, and the “Strategy Developer” in turn will be able to receive information about the role of the social media user. Based on the analysis of one of the communities, the use of the developed strategies was implemented. They will make it possible to improve the content of the virtual community, identify unscrupulous users and, in turn, increase the productivity of the community (attract more users, the content will be of high quality, it will be checked, conflict situations will not arise, etc.). That is, to implement measures that will contribute to the development of the community.
