Laurence BURGORGUE-LARSEN - The Issue of New Technologies

Pouvoirs n°130 - L’état des libertés - septembre 2009 - p.65-80

As most countries, France is under the spell of new technologies represented mainly by the internet, so much so that it has created a Secretary of State in charge of the prospective and development of the digital economy. The internet is both a vehicle of emancipation that allows a multiple access to knowledge and a despotic tool which violates individual rights and liberties. In various ways and in different proportions, private life, freedom of expression, intellectual copyrights are all affected by the dramatic development of new technologies. Résumé
