Organised by Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (NL) Chair: Arno Lodder, SOLV Advocaten (NL) Moderator: Tijmen Wisman, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (NL) Panel: Magdalena Jozwiak, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (NL), Argyro Karanasiou, Bournemouth University (UK), Marco Pancini, Google (BE), Bart van der Sloot, Universiteit van Amsterdam (NL) The right to privacy has gained momentum. Different studies show that people do care about their online privacy. But what if one person claims a right to free speech, and another wants respect for her privacy? With a growing number of Internet users and the particularities of online speech, values inherent in the fundamental right to privacy seem to be particularly vulnerable. Europe, where privacy is rooted in the notion of dignity, became the norm entrepreneur in this respect. Both on the legislative and judicial levels, there is an ongoing trend towards enhancing the protection of privacy, reputation and other personality rights in the online environment. However, such a trend does not come without an impact on the right of online freedom of speech. The panel will look closer at different aspects of balancing privacy and freedom of speech online. The following key points will be addressed in this panel: Online applicability of ECtHR balancing criteria for privacy and freedom of speech Private actors entrusted with the responsibility of balancing Big data, freedom of speech and privacy Implications of the future General Data Protection Regulation on the balancing of rights.
