Guarantees of fundamental rights in and from the network: The spanish context

Authors

Abstract

The rapid digitalization that we are experiencing, especially since covid-19, causes territorial and social inequalities among those who do not have a guaranteed right of access to the internet and to information and communication technologies. This work attempts to study the right of access to the internet and to the technologies that make it possible, in the spanish context, and to defend equal opportunities, to make fundamental rights possible in the 21st century, by presenting a right of access to the internet, based on broad principles that make the State the duty bearer and custodian, companies the responsible parties and citizens the owners, with special consideration being given to vulnerable groups.

Keywords:

Right of access to the Internet, digital divide, neutrality, information and communication technologies
