Update 2025. Digital integrity of the human person, A new fundamental right.
The right to respect for digital integrity is an emerging right to protect people's digital lives.
This talk will introduce this new legal concept, its possible implications for data protection and how this concept is being introduced in the current legal framework. The talk will also be an update of the implementation work with the adoption of the right in the Constitution of Geneva voted with 94% approval rate on the 18th of June 2023 and with 91% in Neuchâtel in November 2024. Zurich will be voting in November 2025.
Every human evolves today in multi-dimensional physical and digital environment. If each individual is to keep its individuality and autonomy in its choices, it must be protected and given effective tools to defend its own autonomy.
Recognizing that human life has been digitally extended must question ourselves on what makes us human today. Should personal data be considered as component of the person, rather than objects that can be owned by whoever collects that data? Should our digital integrity be protected?
If each human person already has a right to physical and mental integrity (Swiss Constitution article 10 al.2), shouldn’t it have a right to digital integrity?
Alexis Roussel has been co-authoring a book on the right to Digital Integrity. He is an advocate in digital public policies in Switzerland.

Because repressive governments generally do not simply publish their censorship rules, the task of determining exactly what is and isn’t allowed falls upon the censorship measurement community, who run experiments over censored networks. In this talk, we’ll discuss two ways censorship measurement has evolved from passive experimentation to active attacks against the Great ...

While the extreme right is on the rise in many countries and climate change is unrolling, a promising future seems to be written: According to Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and some other “tech bros” it is to leave the dying planet to go to space. With the help of something called “A(G)I”. But what kind of future is the one that is promised? And what is the connection between power cycles of tech company owners and people who's believes can be called fascist? As we moved power through data in ...
