Hi,

just two general remarks.
First, human rights are about state's obligation to protect citizens
freedoms by shaping a law and policies coherent with HR declarations,
conventions etc. By design they apply everywhere -  in public  or
private space, day and night, online and offline (even if there is no
such provision). And of course HR were, are and will be, violated and
limited both off- and on-line. No doubt about it. What is important here
is that only state (not a private entity) should have a right to limit
it and only with a really good excuse. And - what is my point - if it is
doing it on a massive scale should be obligated to inform citizens about
it and to execute same obligatory information from private entities.
This is a case of CCTV signs if operating in buses, work place or on
streets. So maybe we should in general focus on enlisting - in some
descriptive and future-proof way :) - which technological or legal means
lead to a violation of HRs, under what conditions they can be accepted
(more or less in CoE draft) and if so how citizens should be informed
about their use (didn't find it in the draft).
Second, two digirights are missing in the draft because they are not in
European human rights system and this is an ongoing problem, I mean
right to culture and net neutrality. Maybe we should mention about it in
a comment if there will be one.

Cheers,
Marysia

PS
For Polish friends -remember the voice in phone saying "conversationis
controlled" during the martial law?
