from Part II - Norms and Standards in a Connected World
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2022
The right to privacy is the other human right that bears on communication, although not only on communication. Its formulations in the Universal Declaration and in the European Convention are very similar and quite dated.

And once again, concentrating on one specific right may offer a limited contribution to the complex ethical and epistemic standards that are relevant to communication, and especially to digital communication. Digital technologies raise numerous challenges for privacy, and addressing them is likely to require attention to a wide range of ethical and epistemic norms and standards.
