Summary:

Due to rapid developments in the communication sector, the right to privacy faces new challenges. The increasing digitization and internationalization of communication processes have raised a number of issues, and lead to conflicts wherever national legal systems and moral concepts collide. Particularly in the areas of data protection and liability of online service providers, universal approaches are required. This title presents positions of specialists in Europe, Australia, the US and Canada which contribute to the international dialogue and thereby offer a starting point for a sustainable policy for the protection of privacy rights

Infolge der rasanten Entwicklungen im Kommunikationsbereich, steht das Recht auf Privatsphäre vor immer neuen Herausforderungen. Die zunehmende Digitalisierung und Internationalisierung von Kommunikationsprozessen werfen zahlreiche Fragen auf und führen dort zu Konflikten, wo nationale Rechtsordnungen und Wertvorstellungen aufeinander prallen. Insbesondere im Bereich des Datenschutzes und der Frage nach der Haftung von Online-Dienstanbietern sind universelle Lösungsansätze gefragt. Im vorliegenden Werk stellen sich ExpertInnen aus Europa, Australien, USA und Kanada einem internationalen Dialog, der zumindest Impulse für einen nachhaltigen Schutz des Rechts auf Privatsphäre geben soll.
