Communication problem in risk society: challenges of the media reality

Philosophical foundations for the analysis of social communication within the risk society are studied. The development of media and the multiplication of risks in modern society, multiplied by the impact of the pandemic, impact communication in the modern world. Both positive and negative aspects of the impact of technology on communication are revealed. The influence of the deformation of tolerance on various social structures is studied, based on the works of Russian and Western philosophers (representatives of the Frankfurt School in particular). It is concluded that critical attitude to one’s actions is extremely important today both in the real world and in virtual space, since consequences of carelessly expressed ambiguous opinions or actions can cause unpredictable consequences.
