| dc.description.abstract | Technological development provides new opportunities for the progress of humanity as well
as for the realization of human rights, although, at the same time, it also creates new risks
for these rights. In recent years, public-private initiatives have advanced the need to promote
and preserve freedom on the Internet as an essential assumption for the progress towards
the realization of human rights and the functioning of a democratic society. One of these is
called Internet Freedom.
In this article, the author maintains that the focus of Internet Freedom is, however,
limited, because it provides a skewed view of the relevance of human rights in the online
environment. After noting these limitations, the author suggests elements that should be
integrated in an Internet approach sustained by a comprehensive focus on human rights for
the Internet. | |
