This book focuses on protection needs and new aspects of personality and data protection rights on the Internet, presenting a comprehensive review that discusses and compares international, European and national (Brazilian, German, Pakistani) perspectives.  It deals with overarching questions, such as whether universal minimum standards of privacy protection can be developed or how regional data protection rights can be safeguarded and enforced extraterritorially, given the conditions of the Internet. Furthermore, the book addresses new challenges and novel rights, e. g., data retention and protection against mass surveillance, the right to be forgotten, rights to anonymity, legal issues of the digital estate or rights relating to algorithmic decision-making. Furthermore, the book explores how well-known paradigms, such as liability for personality rights violations or damages, have to be adapted in view of the significant role of intermediaries.

Das Internet ist Faktor und Produkt des fundamentalen Wandels, den die Gesellschaft und ihr Recht gegenwärtig erleben. Wie weit und wie tief dies reicht, steht mittlerweile im Zentrum öffentlicher Aufmerksamkeit. Die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes setzen sich aus interdisziplinärer und aus rechtlicher Perspektive mit Grundsatz- und Querschnittsproblemen, mit einem breiten Spektrum an bereichsspezifischen Fragen und mit Zukunftsthemen auseinander. Dazu zählen unter anderem "Hate Speech", Meinungsäußerungen von Arbeitnehmern in Sozialen Netzwerken, die Shareconomy und die Geschäftsmodelle von AirBnB und Uber, Finanzierungsmechanismen im Web, das "Bezahlen mit Daten" und Adblocker, neue Formen der Musik und Urheberrechte, die Datafizierung des Autofahrens oder Visionen weiterer Technisierung und Vernetzung, wie sie die Stichworte der "Augmented Reality", der "Smart Lenses" oder der "Cyborgs" liefern.Mit Beiträgen vonMarion Albers, Urs-Vito Albrecht, Mats Andresen, Jonas Benedikt Böhme, Frédéric Döhl, Christian Frerix, Mathias Hong, Ioannis Katsivelas, Lea Köttering, Janina Lehmann, Konstanze Marx, Holger Morgenstern, Karl-Nikolaus Peifer, Lasse Ramson, Anna Schimke, Robin Schneller, Thomas Schwenke, Janusch Skubatz, Rüdiger Spendel, Frank Steinicke, Vanessa Zoltkowski.

This book explores both the possibilities and limits of arguments from human nature in the context of human rights. Can the concept of human nature provide a basis for understanding fundamental rights? Is it plausible to justify the claim to universal validity of human rights by reference to human nature? Or does the idea of human rights in its modern, post-1945 manifestation go, in essence, beyond human nature? The essays in this volume introduce naturalistic positions and their concomitant critiques. They address the role that human nature both actually does and potentially may play in forming a foundation for and acting as an exemplification of fundamental rights. Beyond that, they give attention to the challenges caused by Life Sciences. Human nature itself is subject to transformation and transgression in an unprecedented manner. The essays reflect on issues such as reproduction, species manipulation, corporeal autonomy and enhancement. Contributors are jurists, philosophers and political scientists from Germany, Switzerland, Turkey, Poland and Japan.
