ABSTRACT

Internet has become an indispensable resource in several disciplines, including politics, international affairs and education. Some viewpoints reject the entire freedom of the Internet in nations that utilise it to regulate and restrict political opponents. Nevertheless, we must find a sensible compromise based on human rights. Cyberactivists are suggested as potential “sources of cyberattacks” or data-destroying viruses. The “human rights-based approach” of the Internet regulations demonstrates that there are good grounds to restrict communication in certain Internet domains. This is the beginning point for an Internet strategy centred on human rights. The primary objective of online human rights projects is to integrate Internet freedom into existing human rights frameworks. The fundamental issue is the redefining of the public and private spheres. Being a woman, a lefty, a worker, a lesbian, an atheist, a person of colour, or a person with a disability may be a daily experience for many individuals. This indicates that minority status may be more common than previously believed. Internet’s influence on the idea of minority will be analysed.
