  • Summary

    The idea that human rights offline and online are the same belongs to the sphere of human rights religious reasoning. As such, it is the representation of faith located far and above the reach of explicative justification. Religious justifications as a rule remain immune to any contrary argumentation. The correctness of the sameness statement seems to remain unquestioned from its appearance. The doubt about generality allows us to say that the statement of the sameness of human rights in the digital and non-digital domains is true at the highest level of generality and abstractness. Here human rights in these domains are coherent, and non-coherence becomes more and more apparent in the image of digital human rights as we progress towards increasing concreteness. At some point non-coherence disappears when human rights specific to the digital domain emerge which are not a reflection of a comparable right off-line.
