Abstract

The war in Ukraine, the pandemic, and political and economic crises have given rise to the spread of digital violence on the internet. Fake news, disinformation, hate speech, and propaganda in the digital sphere can easily spread, manipulate human consciousness, and encourage illegal behaviour. The progressive advancement of modern technologies has necessitated the development of a common regulatory framework and standards for online interaction and decisive counteraction to illegal online content. Another issue that needs to be examined is the obligation of private social media providers to balance human rights and fundamental freedoms against each other. Whether such additional means of combating online hate and incitement are effective should be a subject of thorough studies. Special attention should be also given to a study into which human rights standards are breached through digital violation and which standards of fundamental rights are infringed on as a result of digital violation.
