Abstract
The profusion of new technologies and of information and
communication technologies in many aspects of individual and collective
life is one of the defining features of our times. The advancement of new
technologies in the twenty-first century – also known as the fourth
industrial revolution – along with the expansion of the internet, social
media and artificial intelligence has a direct impact on the way in which
the public and private sectors and individuals interact. These new and
transformational environments present opportunities and challenges when
their practices are analysed in terms of rights.
