This book focuses on protection needs and new aspects of personality and data protection rights on the Internet, presenting a comprehensive review that discusses and compares international, European and national (Brazilian, German, Pakistani) perspectives. It deals with overarching questions, such as whether universal minimum standards of privacy protection can be developed or how regional data protection rights can be safeguarded and enforced extraterritorially, given the conditions of the Internet. Furthermore, the book addresses new challenges and novel rights, e. g., data retention and protection against mass surveillance, the right to be forgotten, rights to anonymity, legal issues of the digital estate or rights relating to algorithmic decision-making. Furthermore, the book explores how well-known paradigms, such as liability for personality rights violations or damages, have to be adapted in view of the significant role of intermediaries.
This book focuses on the right to privacy in the digital age with a view to see how it is implemented across the globe in different jurisdictions. The right to privacy is one of the rights enshrined in international human rights law. It has been a topic of interest for both academic and non-academic audiences around the world.

This edited volume aims to provide an overview of recent development pertaining to the protection of the right to privacy in the different judicial systems such as the European, South Asian, African and Inter-American legal systems. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of The International Journal of Human Rights.

For more than three hundred years, the world wrestled with conflicts that arose between nation-states. Nation-states wielded military force, financial pressure, and diplomatic persuasion to create "world order." Even after the end of the Cold War, the elements comprising world order remained essentially unchanged. But 2012 marked a transformation in geopolitics and the tactics of both the established powers and smaller entities looking to challenge the international community. That year, the US government revealed its involvement in Operation "Olympic Games," a mission aimed at disrupting the Iranian nuclear program through cyberattacks; Russia and China conducted massive cyber-espionage ope...
