    1. privacy as a fundamental right

      Digital reality --- I doubt to what extent is privacy (as envisioned in Article 12 of the UDHR) possible in the digital reality we live in. I'd say, 21st century = no privacy! What we might have is the opportunity to buy new security tools/software/gadgets produced by the same tech-companies that rule the cyberworld (but if there is a need they can brake those protection tools or give backdoor access to governments and that would be clearly stated in their 1000 pages long legal terms you accepted). Now, someone would say, hey, there are laws and protection mechanisms in place and such conduct would be illegal. But then, another one would say, hey, come in whatever developing country, and see, how the law and all protecting mechanisms work in reality (implementation is a problem). Political elites, employees in the security/intelligence/telecommunication sectors in many states misuse the equipment daily (sometimes they end in jail sometimes not). Just lets read the news headlines for all wiretapping scandals in almost any developing country in the world..
