Beskrivning
Does the individual have a right not to use the internet? As public services, healthcare, social benefits, and political participation increasingly depend on digital technologies, access to the internet is becoming a condition of participation in social, economic, and political life. But what does freedom mean when being online is no longer entirely a matter of choice?This book examines the right of access to the internet and the right not to use it as complementary dimensions of digital individual freedom. Drawing on constitutional law, EU law, international human rights law, and comparative analysis of Australia, France, and Poland, it explores the tension between expanding digital access and the growing difficulty of remaining offline.The work identifies digital coercion as a structural condition in which legal, institutional, and market arrangements make non-use costly or impracticable, limiting the individual's ability to choose whether and how to engage with digital technologies. It develops a doctrinal framework centred on six interrelated elements: access, meaningful choice, the right not to use the internet, analogue alternatives, state obligations, and digital autonomy. It argues that protecting digital freedom requires not only ensuring access, but also preserving a genuine possibility of opting out.The book will be of interest to scholars, practitioners, and policymakers working in constitutional law, EU law, human rights, digital rights, and technology regulation.

'Following her pioneering edited volume on offline rights (Routledge) and work on the elderly digital divide, Elżbieta Kużelewska's latest monograph delivers a brilliant normative discussion on the right not to use the internet. Leveraging the workplace right to disconnect as a foundational launching point, this essential text on digital individual freedom provides a rigorous framework for preserving personal autonomy against mandatory digitalization.'

By developing the concept of digital individual freedom, it advances digital constitutionalism and provides a new framework for understanding access to and freedom from digital technologies as complementary dimensions of individual autonomy.'Angela Cossiri, University of Macerata, Italy'Offering a fresh perspective on current academic debates on emerging digital rights and freedoms, this monograph encourages reflection on how scholars, legislators and judges grapple with complex questions concerning individuals’ access to the digital environment and their freedom to abstain from participation in it.'Eva Lievens, Ghent University, Belgium
