Nicole Moreham: The Protection of
Privacy in English Private Law

The Protection of Privacy in English Private Law

Independently published

Two unaccountable points now decide what an Australian citizen gets to see and hear. The feed decides what spreads, tuned for engagement rather than accuracy. The AI guardrail decides what gets said, tuned for caution rather than transparency. Neither is required to explain itself, and no one has yet proposed a workable, Australian, precedent-grounded way to make either one auditable.Digital Cognitive Infrastructure: Who Decided What We Get to See does both. It is a trade book making the public case, and, inside the same volume, a fully drafted Commonwealth Bill ready for a Member of Parliament's office to take up: working legislative text, not a general position paper.The book's core distinction, held firm throughout: safety-critical guardrails, the kind that block weapons synthesis or child exploitation material, exist because the information itself is the harm, and this book leaves those alone entirely. Its target is narrower - the epistemic-caution guardrail, the invisible values judgement made when a system hesitates over a contested but legitimate claim, with no disclosure that a judgement was made at all.The Bill's mechanisms come from Australia's own regulatory toolkit: vehicle safety standards, the phase-out of leaded petrol, spectrum licensing, telecommunications structural separation, the Auditor-General's independence model, and the plain-packaging framework that reshaped an industry's disclosure obligations. Each major mechanism, the audit authority, enforcement, the funding levy, user control over algorithmic treatment, is drafted at five distinct tiers, from the least disruptive option that still works to the most structurally ambitious, each with full clause-level text. An office can take the tier that fits its political room to move and use it directly.The book is equally direct about its own construction. Eight AI systems were independently commissioned to produce comparative policy proposals for the same problem, with no visibility into one another's work; their strongest and weakest ideas are assessed on the record, not cherry-picked for effect. A central case study, working from a documented incident, makes a narrow and disciplined argument: a legitimate source was, by default, omitted from an AI-assisted research output. The point isn't that the caution was wrong. It's that the omission was only caught because someone was running a genuinely rigorous verification process, and anyone without that process would never have known it happened. That single, checkable case is the whole justification for the Bill's audit architecture - not proof of malice, proof that invisible caution is indistinguishable from invisible bias unless the system is built to be checked.Every claim is held to what the authors call the High Court Test: would it survive being read aloud by a judge actively looking for its weakest point? Where the evidence supports a claim, the book says so and cites it. Where it only suggests one, the book says that instead. No chapter allows a system's motive or a contested finding to be asserted as settled fact.A continuing fictional narrator, Keeley Halloran, carries a single locked personal chapter at the book's opening, establishing the human stakes before the argument proper begins; everything after is a direct, professionally registered discussion paper, cited throughout, with no further narrative device between the reader and the case being made. Readers arriving cold will find a complete, self-contained policy document that assumes nothing and asserts nothing it hasn't shown.Six appendices close the volume: a Statement of Compatibility, an Explanatory Memorandum, full methodology and bibliography and a Second Reading Speech, giving an MP's office every document it would need to move the Bill forward without a redraft.

Who Decided What We Get to See

Digital Cognitive Infrastructure

Noch nie gab es so viele Ermittlungen wegen bloßer Worte, egal ob es um Migration, Klimapolitik, die Ukraine oder den Nahostkonflikt geht. Der Staat definiert heute etliche politische Aussagen als strafbar, die noch vor zehn Jahren ganz klar unter die Meinungsfreiheit fielen.Grenzen der MeinungsfreiheitRonen Steinke zeigt auf, wo neuerdings die Grenzen der Meinungsfreiheit verlaufen, auch im digitalen Raum. Gerade in der gegenwärtigen Lage, so kritisiert der preisgekrönte Journalist und Jurist, sollte das Land mehr Meinungsfreiheit wagen, anstatt zu glauben, man überzeuge Menschen, indem man ihnen den Mund verbietet.Wer bestimmt, was als 'Hass und Hetze' gilt?Wegen des Satzes 'Impfen macht frei' kann man neuerdings schon bestraft werden, aber 'Deutschland den Deutschen, Ausländer raus' in der Disco zu grölen, ist erlaubt. 'Gaza = Auschwitz' ist eine Straftat, doch die Aussage, der Bundeskanzler sei ein 'Volksschädling', ist erlaubt. Zu sagen, die CSU hetze gegen die Grünen, als seien diese die 'neuen Juden', ist eine Straftat, aber die Vertreibung aller Palästinenser aus dem Gazastreifen zu fordern, ist erlaubt. Wer kennt sich da noch aus?Heutzutage wird es oft Gerichten überlassen zu entscheiden, welche Meinungsäußerungen strafbar sind und welche nicht. Ein engagiertes Plädoyer für mehr Transparenz und ein dringender Appell, mehr Meinungsfreiheit zu wagen, das heißt Debatten in der Zivilgesellschaft zuzulassen, solange sie gewaltfrei bleiben.

Wie Polizei und Justiz unser Grundrecht einschränken – und wie wir es verteidigen | Nominiert für den Deutschen Sachbuchpreis 2026

Meinungsfreiheit

Provides a radical reappraisal of the right to free speech by critiquing pre-existing theory and offers a novel reinterpretation of the right as a matter of theory and practice.

A Radical Restatement

Free Speech Theory

Can democracies combat political disinformation, foreign interference in elections and manipulative political expression without undermining free speech?This book is the first to demonstrate how democracies can regulate social media communication causing democratic harm, including political disinformation, consistently with the right to freedom of speech.Through a rigorous analysis of new laws, including the UK's Online Safety Act and National Security Act, as well as the EU's Digital Services Act and AI Act, the book illustrates how and why states must respond to democratic harm on social media platforms. In doing so, the book explores the types of social media communication that cause democratic harm and develops a novel theory of democratic harm that looks beyond negative electoral consequences and focuses on the preconditions necessary for democratic legitimacy in relation to freedom of expression.Defending Democracy in The Digital Age provides pragmatic solutions to the complex challenge of balancing free speech and addressing social media communication causing democratic harm. Policymakers, scholars, judges and legal practitioners interested in democracy and freedom of speech will benefit from the findings made by this book. In the digital age, when powerful social media companies facilitate the spread of harmful communications that erode the function of our democracies, this book provides a necessary and timely intervention in debates on the safeguarding of democracy and the protection of free speech.

Regulating Democratic Harm on Social Media Platforms

Defending Democracy in The Digital Age

Internet und Gesellschaft

The present volume addresses key issues of digitisation and internationalisation from the perspective of public law, European law and international law in seven contributions. They were written as part of a lecture series held by the Faculty of Law at the University of Innsbruck during the 2024/25 academic year. The contributions analyse and discuss current challenges arising from digitalisation in the mobility sector and in administrative procedures. In addition, the authors examine European and international regulation of cyberspace, online communication, media services, and artificial intelligence.

Perspektiven der Internationalisierung und Digitalisierung

Recht der Digitalisierung III

Fiches de Droit de la communication

This innovative textbook edited by international experts in technology law and policy provides a comprehensive and accessible guide into the fast-evolving landscape of technology law and policy in the UK and the EU. The recent wave of regulatory reforms adopted by UK and EU regulators increases the complexity of Internet law as it had developed in the past decades. Recognising the ever-growing importance of artificial intelligence in today's public discourse, the textbook extends beyond traditional legal sectoral frameworks, and explores the intersection of law, technology, and public policy to describe and critically reflect on current and emerging issues in the modern information society. This exploration follows thematic areas of interest, such as adtech, privacy by design, predictive policing, and social media, while also providing accessible historical overviews of how policy has developed in specific fields including platform liability, copyright, or data protection, and case studies on key topics. The companion website provides multimedia resources to delve deeper into specific topics; introductory materials for readers that are unfamiliar with the EU legal system; and teaching resources. Law, Policy, and the Internet is an essential resource for anyone seeking to navigate the complexities of internet regulation in an era of exponential technological change.

Law, Policy and the Internet

Schriften zum Recht der Digitalisierung

Jessica Hawighorst's study investigates whether and under what conditions artificial intelligence can be recognized as an independent legal subject. Focusing on the concept of the "electronic person" (ePerson), it examines the theoretical and doctrinal foundations of assigning legal personality to autonomous AI systems. The author combines systematic legal analysis with philosophical and constitutional reasoning, drawing on both German and European contexts, including the AI Act. The author discusses how the growing autonomy of AI systems raises questions of foreseeability, traceability, and responsibility for their actions. Central legal concepts such as "person," "subject," and "capacity" are critically reassessed, showing that legal subjectivity is a legislative construct within constitutional limits rather than an inherent property. Ethical and cultural considerations serve as guiding principles for determining the scope of potential AI personhood. The study concludes that while granting AI legal personhood is theoretically feasible and could clarify certain issues in contract and liability law, it is not currently necessary. Establishing such a framework would require significant legislative effort. The decision thus remains a matter of political and normative choice.

Eine Untersuchung von Zuerkennungsgründen für die "ePerson"

Rechtssubjektivität für Künstliche Intelligenz

The edited volume examines how legal, technical, economic, and ethical norms governing the use of artificial intelligence emerge, interact, and stabilize. It is based on the premise that AI regulation cannot be understood as a self-contained field of technology law, but rather constitutes a complex ordering task shaped by the interplay of horizontal European regulation, sector-specific regimes, research ethics, and processes of standardization. The focus lies on the implementation of the European AI Act and its relationship to data protection law, financial market law, and the EU framework for corporate data. Theoretically, the contributions draw on regulatory and governance research, theories of normativity, and debates on technology-induced norm formation ("code is law"). Methodologically, the volume combines doctrinal and comparative legal analysis with perspectives from technology studies, economics, and the social sciences. It examines the AI Act, data protection and financial market law, as well as de facto processes of norm formation by market actors, standardization bodies, and research institutions. It reconstructs the forms, functions, and addressees of the AI normative order and analyzes the interplay of legal rules, technical standards, economic incentives, and ethical guidelines. Part I analyzes the risk-based regulation of the digital space, Part II sector-specific regimes in the financial market and the relationship between horizontal regulation and supervision, and Part III research ethics and standardization. The volume conceptualizes the AI normative order as a multi-layered framework and provides a foundation for future regulation in Europe.

The Serious Applicant's Guide: How to Structure, Apply, and Survive Under the Gambling Commission Regime

The U.S. Constitution is silent about a right to privacy, yet the Supreme Court determined in the 1965 reproductive rights case Griswold v. Connecticut, that such a right is inferred from the Bill of Rights. The reasoning in the landmark case hinged on an unexpected word – penumbra. The Court concluded, in other words, that the unmentioned right to privacy resides in the shadows of the amendments.But this was not the first time penumbral imagery was used in legal writings, and its broader cultural usage dates back much further. Jared Schroeder's The Penumbra Problem provides a much-needed – and quite colorful – social and cultural history of the term. The penumbra concept, it turns out, wasn't an accidental choice but instead a well-selected term with centuries of transnational history.Schroeder tells its story through two intertwining narratives: first, how the word penumbra transcended its oblique scientific origins to become a distinct cultural concept; and, second, the parallel story of its evolving use in legal thought. The book tracks back and forth in time, creating an unexpected lineage of people and works who became unwitting champions of the penumbra concept, including mathematician Johannes Kepler, feminist activist Estelle Griswold, British thinker Robert Hooke, and lexicographer Noah Webster. Pairing these stories with the writings of great legal thinkers such as Willam Douglas and Oliver Wendell Holmes, Schroeder is able to construct a kind of etymological love letter to this obscure concept.Not everyone has supported the privacy precedent, though, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is in danger today. Schroeder's clever, utterly unique history is, at its core, a call to redouble efforts to save the right to privacy. He argues that we must understand its ponderous, indeed uncertain, origins to fully appreciate the precarity in which it exists today, and only then can we adequately fight for it.
