数字弱势群体权利保障路径的法律思考

Legal Exploration on the Rights Protection of Digital Vulnerable Groups

云计算等新兴数字技术给人类社会带来了颠覆性变革。在此变革下,新兴数字弱势群体在逐渐蔓延。区别于一般弱势群体,该群体带有鲜明的数字特征,其弱势地位实际上缘自数字权利的不平等享有。面对数字弱势群体问题与数字发展的尖锐矛盾,亟须跳脱出原有的立法思维模式,重新审视数字权利。从权利内涵与权利保护效果的角度分析,数字权利符合且应当包含在宪法规定的公民基本权利的保障条款之下。由此为出发点,从转换立法思维、完善数字权利理念、完善落实法律制度和践行数字向善理念四个方面为数字弱势群体提供有效保护路径。

Emerging digital technologies such as cloud computing have brought disruptive changes to human society.With this change,emerging digital vulnerable groups are gradually spreading.Different from ordinary vulnerable groups,this group has distinctive digital characteristics,and its disadvantaged status is actually due to the unequal enjoyment of digital rights.Facing the sharp contradiction between the problems of digital vulnerable groups and digital development,it is urgent to break away from the original legislative thinking model and re-examine digital rights.From the analysis of the connotation of rights and the effect of rights protection,digital rights are consistent with and should be included in the basic rights protection clause of the Constitution.With this as the starting point,effective protection for digital vulnerable groups are provided from four aspects:changing legislative thinking,improving the concept of digital rights,improving the implementation of the legal system,and practicing the concept of digital for good.
