Project description:

Social media platforms are playing a vital role in our daily lives. However, while we are catching up on the news or sharing our personal accomplishments on a social media platform, the social media company is harvesting our personal data to maximize our engagement with its platform through personalized content. They also exploit our personal data to steer us into the interest of their customers by political or commercial microtargeting advertisements. Moreover, the underlying algorithm of social media platforms enables malicious actors to target their vulnerable audience with personalized disinformation. This project tries to explore how would personalized content (disinformation) and microtargeting advertisements on social media amount to manipulation and how would international and European human rights law respond to that. The project continues to answer whether social media users’ consent would justify them being exposed to manipulative contents, and whether there is (or should be) a right to access non-manipulative social media.

Starting date: 01.11.2022

Completion date:  01.11.2025

Project description:

This research project aims to explore how data privacy regulations drive data commodification business strategies in Europe. While data privacy regulations are being implemented and applied with varying degrees of effectiveness and civil society is increasingly aware of data privacy issues under a system of “surveillance capitalism”, ie. commodification of data for the sake of creating more data, both compliance and governance regimes are showing their limits in the rapidly evolving context of digital innovations and business practices. As such, digital practices continue to outpace digital law innovations, limiting the effectiveness of legal instruments of compliance. This research seeks to investigate approaches and tools to make data regulations in the EU more effective from a business strategy perspective.

IT-kriminalitet

Startdato: 1. februar 2020

Slutdato:   17. januar 2025

Projektbeskrivelse:

Formålet med projektet er at se nærmere på IT-kriminalitet i en moderne strafferetlig kontekst. I takt med den teknologiske udvikling, fremkommer der ligeledes nye muligheder for at anvende denne teknologi til IT-kriminalitet. Det er derfor relevant at undersøge dels om den nugældende straffelov er egnet til også at dække disse nye former for kriminalitet, herunder om straffelovens bestemmelser anvendes korrekt på IT-kriminalitet, og dels hvilken betydning udviklingen har for de strafferetlige beskyttelsesinteresser.

Projektbeskrivelse:
Hovedformålet med afhandlingen er at undersøge, i hvilket omfang den digitale forvaltning kan rummes inden for de almindelige forvaltningsretlige regler, herunder retsgrundsætninger. Den juridiske kerne i projektet er således forvaltningsretlige og retssikkerhedsmæssige overvejelser om de problemstillinger, som i praksis opstår i forbindelse med, at forvaltningsprocessen digitaliseres og automatiseres.
