This article analyzes the modern mechanisms of mind manipulation and the processes of “digital mankurtization” in the media space from a socio-philosophical perspective. The impact of manipulative tools such as information fragmentation, the formation of “clip thinking”, virtual simulacra, and algorithmic echo chambers on the ontological and epistemological essence of a person is revealed. In conclusion, the study substantiates the priority directions for ensuring information and psychological security by forming stable cognitive and ideological immunity among youth and developing independent intellectual thinking instead of relying on traditional prohibitions.
