Freedom of expression and the internet
Updated and revised 2nd edition
Wolfgang Benedek, Matthias C. Kettemann
Conseil de l'Europe
Livre numérique
An invaluable resource for students of law, politics, international relations
and technology as well as for diplomats and civil society actors, this
publication demonstrates how the Council of Europe contributes to ensuring
that everyone’s voice online can be heard. This is key to sustainable, human
rights oriented and people-centred digitalisation. Human rights matter on the
internet. Without freedom of expression, people cannot participate in
everything that the information society has to offer. Yet online free speech
is in danger. Between state laws, private rules and algorithms, full
participation in the online communicative space faces many challenges. This
publication explores the profound impact of the internet on free expression
and how it can be effectively secured online. The second, updated edition of
this introduction into the protection of freedom of expression online answers
essential questions regarding the extent and limits of freedom of expression
online and the role of social networks, courts, states and organisations in
online communication spaces. In clear language, with vivid examples spanning
two decades of internet law, the authors answer questions on freedom of
expression in cyberspace. Addressing issues from the protection of bloggers to
the right to access online information, the publication also shows the
importance of the standard-setting, monitoring and promotion activities of
international and non-governmental organisations and includes a chapter on
relevant national practice. It pays special attention to the role of European
human rights law and the Council of Europe as this region’s most important
human rights organisation.
