  • Internet and Freedom of Expression
    EUROPEAN MASTER DEGREE IN HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEMOCRATISATION 2000-2001 RAOUL WALLENBERG INSTITUTE Internet and Freedom of expression Rikke Frank Jørgensen© rfj@digitalrights.dk Supervisor: Dr. Gregor Noll Abstract Internet challenges the right to freedom of expression. On the one hand, Internet empowers freedom of expression by providing individuals with new means of expressions. On the other hand, the free flow of information has raised the call for content regulation, not least to restrict minors’ access to potentially harmful information. This schism has led to legal attempts to regulate content and to new self- regulatory schemes implemented by private parties. The attempts to regulate content raise the question of how to define Internet in terms of “public sphere” and accordingly protect online rights of expression. The dissertation will argue that Internet has strong public sphere elements, and should receive the same level of protection, which has been given to rights of expression in the physical world. Regarding the tendency towards self- regulation, the dissertation will point to the problem of having private parties manage a public sphere, hence regulate according to commercial codes of consumer demand rather than the principles inherent in the rights of expressions, such as the right of every minority to voice her opinion. The dissertation will conclude, that the time has come for states to take on their responsibility and strengthen the protection of freedom of expression on Internet. 29.600 words 2 Table of Contents 1.

This has been the work of years, and like all dissertations, it is incomplete. Even so, it would never have reached this state without the help of my advisors, my academic friends and mentors both official and unofficial, my invaluable writing buddy, with whom we shared the joys and pains of finishing our respective dissertations, and the various academic communities in which I have had the fortune to exchange and discuss ideas. Thank you for all those innumerable hours of shared thinking and writing. Special thanks go to the curators and staff at the Huntington Library, where I was able to engage with wonderful archival material without which this work would not have been possible.
