Zusatztext This is a deeply insightful and nuanced book. Oreste Pollicino provides a thorough and critical examination of the ways that courts on both sides of the Atlantic have used their remarkable power to embolden and erode fundamental rights such as privacy and free expression online. Pollicino adeptly reminds us that a true commitment to fundamental rights on the Internet requires ongoing scrutiny of courts themselves. Informationen zum Autor Oreste Pollicino is Professor of Constitutional Law and AI Law at Bocconi University, Italy, Board Member at the European Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA), President of the Centre for Digital Constitutionalism and Policy, Belgium, and Honest Broker for the 2022 Code of Practice Against Disinformation. Vorwort This book is an innovative analysis of the forms, models and styles of judicial protection of fundamental rights in the digital era, comparing the European vision to that of the United States. Zusammenfassung This book explores how the Internet impacts on the protection of fundamental rights, particularly with regard to freedom of speech and privacy. In doing so, it seeks to bridge the gap between Internet Law and European and Constitutional Law. The book aims to emancipate the debate on internet law and jurisprudence from the dominant position, with specific reference to European legal regimes. This approach aims to inject a European and constitutional “soul” into the topic. Moreover, the book addresses the relationship between new technologies and the protection of fundamental rights within the theoretical debate surrounding the process of European integration, with particular emphasis on judicial dialogue. This innovative book provides a thorough analysis of the forms, models and styles of judicial protection of fundamental rights in the digital era and compares the European vision to that of the United States. The book offers the first comparative analysis in which the notion of (judicial) frame, borrowed from linguistic and cognitive studies, is systematically applied to the theories of interpretation and argumentation. With a Foreword by Robert Spano, President of the European Court of Human Rights. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Technology and Judges Across the Atlantic I. The Amplification of Judicial Momentum II.
