Summary

Chapter 8 summarises and concludes the analysis presented in the previous chapters. As highlighted throughout the book, the power of the courts to effectively protect freedom of expression is limited in the face of global digital networks and powerful private technology companies. This makes it all the more important to recognise not only the individual but also the institutional dimension of fundamental rights as objective value judgements under constitutional law, the implementation of which falls under the state’s duty to protect. Given the enormous technical and social complexity of the digital revolution, this task can only be accomplished through legislation.
