The Internet has created a formidable challenge for human rights
law and practice worldwide. International scholarly and
policy-oriented communities have so far established a consensus
regarding only one main aspect - human rights in the internet are
the same as offline. There are emerging and ongoing debates
regarding not only the standards and methods to be used for
achieving the "sameness" of rights online, but also whether
"classical" human rights as we know them are contested by the
online environment. The internet itself, in view of its
cross-border nature and its ability to affect various areas of law,
requires adopting an internationally oriented approach and a
perspective strongly focused on social sciences. In particular, the
rise of the internet, enhanced also by the influence of new
technologies such as algorithms and intelligent artificial systems,
has influenced individuals' civil, political and social rights not
only in the digital world, but also in the atomic realm. As the
coming of the internet calls into question well-established legal
categories, a broader perspective than the domestic one is
necessary to investigate this phenomenon. This book explores the
main fundamental issues and practical dimensions related to the
safeguarding of human rights in the internet, which are at the
focus of current academic debates. It provides a comprehensive
analysis with a forward-looking perspective of bringing order into
the somewhat chaotic online dimension of human rights. It addresses
the matter of private digital censorship, the apparent inefficiency
of existing judicial systems to react to human rights violations
online, the uncertainty of liability for online human rights
violations, whether the concern with personal data protection
overshadows multiple other human rights issues online and will be
of value to those interested in human rights law and legal
regulation of the internet.
