RESUMOObjetivo: Esta pesquisa tem por meta analisar a Internet como um relevante instrumento do ativismo popular, capaz de fortalecer o regime político democrático, possibilitando um nascente ativismo popular que abre novas fronteiras, dentre elas a perspectiva de uma maior mobilização popular, além de uma mais efetiva interferência na formação da opinião pública.Metodologia: O trabalho foi norteado por uma pesquisa jurídica de cunho dogmático, utilizando-se o método dedutivo, desenvolvido através de pesquisa bibliográfica, por meio, principalmente, de livros especializados e de artigos de revista.Resultados: É possível afirmar, como conclusão desta pesquisa, que a democracia semidireta representa uma abertura para o ativismo popular, que vem fortalecendo-se por meio do uso da Internet, a exemplo da utilização da ferramenta Crowdsourcing Constitution na experiência democrática estrangeira. O fortalecimento do ativismo popular por meio da internet, portanto, pode tornar-se um relevante instrumento de democracia semidireta e de diálogo entre a sociedade e o Estado, aprimorando o regime político democrático.Contribuições: A principal contribuição desta pesquisa é trazer à tona, por meio de uma discussão sobre a crescente – e democrática – participação popular na Internet; a reiterada necessidade de garantir-se uma efetiva educação por intermédio da informação, e não através da mera manipulação de massas pela desinformação. Com o crescimento da participação na internet, o povo passa a ter impactos diretos na política, o que se intensifica diante da facilidade de acesso à informação e ao diálogo, possibilitados por novos fóruns e palcos virtuais de debate, que podem, agora, pautar diretamente não apenas nas decisões dos poderes constituídos, como também na própria escolha dos representantes do povo.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Internet; instrumento; ativismo popular; democracia. ABSTRACTObjective: To analyze Internet as a relevant instrument of popular activism, capable of strengthening the democratic political regime, enabling a nascent popular activism that opens new frontiers, among them the perspective of greater popular mobilization, as well as a more effective interference in the formation of public opinion.Methodology: The work was guided by a dogmatic legal research, using the deductive method, developed through bibliographic research, mainly through specialized books and journal articles.Results: It can be stated, as a conclusion of this research, that semi-direct democracy represents an opening for popular activism, which has been strengthened through the use of Internet, such as the use of the Crowdsourcing Constitution tool in foreign democratic experience. The strengthening of popular activism through Internet, therefore, can become a relevant instrument of semi-direct democracy and dialogue between society and the State, enhancing the democratic political regime.Contributions: The main contribution of this research is to bring to light, through a discussion about the growing - and democratic - popular participation in Internet; the repeated need to ensure effective education through information rather than mere mass manipulation through misinformation. With the growth of participation in the Internet, people have direct impacts on politics, which intensifies in view of the ease of access to information and dialogue, made possible by new forums and virtual stages of debate, which can now apply directly not only on the decisions of the constituted powers, as well as on the very choice of the representatives of the people.KEYWORDS: Internet; instrument; popular activism; democracy.

The article discusses the concepts and types of Internet users. Using technical and legal means, a personal definition of an Internet user is proposed. By the term «Internet user» we propose to understand — a participant of Internet relations (both a natural and a legal entity) who uses capabilities of information environment to satisfy his/her personal needs in sale of goods, works and services. The researcher notes that in national legislation of Ukraine there is no legal regulation of the concept and types of Internet users. The study analyzed and formulated types of Internet users. The Internet user, as a participant in various Internet relations, is marked by special features due to the nature of such relations. A specific composition of Internet users who take part in such relations was identified depending on dedicated types of Internet relations. Their brief characteristic is provided. At the same time, legal status of Internet user is compared with the consumer. On the whole, current legislation is not a perfect means of legal influence on internet relations which are connected with Internet user, and requires its timely improvement. It was proposed to supplement provisions of Law of Ukraine «On the protection of consumer rights» with provisions that extend legal status to Internet user which consumer has in its traditional sense (i.e. the concept, rights, obligations, procedure of judicial protection, liability for violation the legislation about protection of Internet users’ rights). The concept of Internet user fully reflects characteristics of a participant in civil law relations. This is especially clearly emphasized by analysis of its types and ratio with consumer category. The Internet user is endowed with a wide range of «traditional» rights and obligations of a participant in civil law relations, which are enshrined in national and international legislation. The Internet user acquires concrete property and personal non-property rights and corresponding duties that determine its civil and legal status.

The study of law focuses, among other aspects, on important issues relating to equality, fairness and justice in as far as free access to information and knowledgeis concerned. The launching of the Open Access to Law Movement in 1992, the promulgation of the Durham Statement on Open Access to Legal Scholarshipin 2009, and the formation of national and regional Legal Information Institutes (LIIs) should serve as an indication of how well the legal world is committed to freely publishing and distributing legal information and knowledge through the Internet to legal practitioners, legal scholars and the public at large aroundthe world. In order to establish the amount of legal scholarly content which is accessible through open access publishing innovations and initiatives, this studyanalysed the contents of websites for selected open access resources on the Internet internationally and in South Africa. The results of the study showed that there has been a steady developing trend towards the adoption of open access for legal scholarly literature internationally, while in South Africa legal scholarly literature is under the control of commercial publishers. This should be an issue for the legal scholarship which, among its focus, is to impart knowledge about the right of access to information and knowledge.

Public Demand

At times of crisis, access to information takes on special importance, and in the Internet age of constant connectedness, this is truer than ever. Over the course of the pandemic, the huge public demand for constantly updated health information has been met with a massive response from official and scientific sources, as well as from the mainstream media. However, it has also generated a vast stream of user-generated digital postings. Such phenomena are often regarded as unhelpful or even dangerous since they unwittingly spread misinformation or make it easier for potentially harmful disinformation to circulate. However, little is known about the dynamics of such forums or how scientific issues are represented there. To address this knowledge gap, this chapter uses a corpus-assisted discourse approach to examine how “expert” knowledge and other sources of authority are represented and contested in a corpus of 10,880 reader comments responding to Mail Online articles on the development of the COVID-19 vaccine in February–July 2020. The results show how “expert” knowledge is increasingly problematized and politicized, while other strategies are used to claim authority. The implications of these findings are discussed in the context of sociological theories, and some tentative solutions are proposed.

The scale, speed and multi-vector development of science and technology are extremely effective in influencing legal, economic, political, spiritual, professional and other social relations. The development of information and communication technologies, the use of the Internet, the creation, storage, transmission, processing and management of information became the driving forces of the new scientific and technological revolution. This facilitates the introduction of technologies for the transmission and use of information in digital form in almost all spheres of public life, namely text data, photo, audio, video images, which are transmitted in various ways via the Internet and other systems and means of communication. One of the key elements of data transmission technologies and systems is the availability of information by which it is possible to identify their subjects and objects by their inherent identification attributes. In Ukrainian legislation, in particular in the Law of Ukraine «On Personal Data Protection», information or a set of information about an individual who is or can be identified specifically is defined as personal data. However, despite its modernity, this law still contains a number of shortcomings and uncertainties, both in terminology and in the legal mechanisms for working with data by which a person can be identified, i.e. identification data.
