Abstract

This article explores contractual relations in the context of social networks, focusing on their specificity and complexity of legal regulation. The main attention is paid to the consideration of these relations as contract networks, complex systems of interconnected contracts. It is noted that users of social media platforms are actively collaborating in creating a common economic and social value. The importance of content moderation by platforms is emphasized, and recommendations are made for improving civil legislation in the light of these problems. Particular attention is paid to the need to ensure a balance between the rights and obligations of participants in contractual relations, improve the mechanisms for the responsibility of platforms and stimulate the development of various models of content moderation.
