| Abstract | ||
| The emergence of the idea of digital rights led to the necessity of researching their legal foundation, such as defining their concept, and this is what all countries, international agencies, and the United Nations agencies seek, as they continue to affirm that the rights that individuals enjoy off the Internet are the same as those that are protected on the Internet. This study also aimed to identify the means of protecting the individual's rights and privacy from the influence of information, and the extent to which they can achieve this. To achieve this, we used an explanation of the modern technical challenges facing personal data and the various legal mechanisms to protect this right. This right is linked to a number of other rights and freedoms, such as freedom of opinion and expression, the right to privacy, freedom to exchange information, and other rights and freedoms. Digital freedom is the right of individuals to create and publish and use and access digital content, and use any electronic devices, software or communication networks without restrictions. Digital freedoms are based on four basic principles: availability, privacy, freedom of expression, and freedom to exchange information. Availability here represents the availability of information and devices used, which cannot be limited to the technical aspect only. Privacy means the ability of individuals to control the confidentiality of their information and personal data and to control who has access to this information, whether they are other individuals or governments. As for freedom of expression, it is one of the basic pillars of the concept of digital freedoms. The spaces provided by means of communication for individuals and groups are constantly expanding. This development has established an environment available for everyone to express their opinions. The concept of freedom of information circulation refers to the right of individuals to obtain information held by public bodies by all means - including information technology means - which in doing so plays the role of overseeing the public interest. Therefore, information should be available to all members of the public through all means, unless There is a vital state interest that requires the confidentiality of this information, and here freedom of information laws reflect the government's duty to serve its citizens. | ||
