This book examines the tangled responsibilities of states,
companies, and individuals surrounding human rights in the digital
age. Digital technologies have a huge impact – for better and
worse – on human lives; while they can clearly enhance some human
rights, they also facilitate a wide range of violations. States are
expected to implement efficient measures against powerful private
companies, but, at the same time, they are drawn to technologies
that extend their own control over citizens. Tech companies are
increasingly asked to prevent violations committed online by their
users, yet many of their business models depend on the accumulation
and exploitation of users’ personal data. While civil society has
a crucial part to play in upholding human rights, it is also the
case that individuals harm other individuals online. All three
stakeholders need to ensure that technology does not provoke the
disintegration of human rights. Bringing together experts from a
range of disciplines, including law, international relations, and
journalism, this book provides a detailed analysis of the impact of
digital technologies on human rights, which will be of interest to
academics, research students and professionals concerned by this
issue.
