Libertà di espressione e sorveglianza globale

This thesis aims to identify some issues related to the operation and restriction of the right to freedom of expression in the context of the global surveillance and control of the Information and Communication Technologies. These activities, undertaken by the States as well as by private operators, are fostered by the nebulous relationship between public, private and code norms, and are opposed by collective and individual recourse to the possibilities offered by the technologies themselves for the conduct of activities in anonymity and secrecy. The global surveillance in the context of privatization uses the code of private autonomy, as digital resistance uses computer skills and the degree of autonomy of action of the individuals. In this context, the guarantee of the existence and the exercise of fundamental human rights, including the right of everyone to freedom of expression and the right to protection of privacy, through the adoption of self-defence oriented techniques and practices, such as encryption and anonymous communications. The individuals, in this conflict, both technical and social, is having to defend the exercise of their rights and even the fulfilment of their duties, when related to specific professional or social, such as lawyers, justice operators, journalists, or simply parents. In conclusion, the elaborate propose some reflections on the formation, by the lawyers of new technologies, of the citizenship and the professionals to a conscious, aware and responsible use of new information technologies, so that they may even direct their activities to the protection and promotion of fundamental democratic, constitutional, civil and social human rights.
