No. 24 : The Privatization of Human Rights: Illusions of Consent,
Automation and Neutrality

By: Emily Taylor



*The Internet enables the free flow of information on an unprecedented
scale but to an increasing extent the management of individuals’
fundamental rights, such as privacy and the mediation of free expression,
is being left in the hands of private actors. The popularity of a few web
platforms across the globe confers on the providers both great power and
heavy responsibilities. This paper explores the relationship between
internet governance and human rights and proposes a framework to fill the
void left by the dearth of boundaries, rules, or laws to guide the conduct
of states and more importantly corporations when it comes to digital data.*
