In recent years, the debate on the expediency of codifying information legislation has been gaining momentum. Some researchers deny its necessity referring to the lack of examples of such codification in the world, the vagueness of the subject matter of legal regulation, the mixing of private and public regulation and the negative consequences for the information technology industry. Upon careful consideration, all these arguments are easily refuted. Other authors, following the «legal fashion» of recent years, talk about the need to adopt the Digital Code of the Russian Federation. It is difficult to agree with such a proposal, since this will divide information relations into two unequal parts, provoke conflicts in legislation and it is not fully adequate to the technical nature of information relations. The paper provides new arguments in support of the third group of researchers who advocate the need to develop the Information Code of the Russian Federation. This task is more difficult than the development of a Digital Code, but it is precisely this path that is determined by the current state of affairs in the industry and the logic of the development of information legislation. The paper also contains a range of social grounds in support of such a codification.
