El derecho digital y la regulación de contenidos en internet

Abstract

Civil society moved from being a passive receiver of messages to an active and constant generator of information and knowledge, using the new technologies and multiple virtual platforms available. Nevertheless this leap in the history of mankind also has risks for the one who has become navigator of the new world, the cybernaut. Change is inevitable and in order to survive and thrive in the digital age it is necessary to have a regulation that protects the rights of users on the Internet. The rights violation in the content publishing disseminated through virtual platforms is the problem addressed by this research; where the Internet appears as a space of rights and although several of those rights already prescribed in the current legislation they have migrated to cyberspace, it is necessary to establish others with unique and special characteristics that protect the cosmopolitan citizen of the new era. From the Digital Law perspective, considering the emergence of a new regulatory edge from the technological environment, it is more than necessary to propose a scope of Ecuadorian legislation regarding the regulation of cyberspace in Ecuador and the contents that circulate through the Internet. It benefits all cybernauts to build a fairer and more inclusive social-digital order that ensures a peaceful coexistence in the network and in which cyber security is guaranteed.
