数字治理:聚焦数字弱势群体平等权的保护

Digital Governance:Focus on Protection of Equal Rights of Digital Disadvantaged Groups

平等是民主与人权的核心,是实现正义的前提与基础,平等权在宪法上具有重要意义。随着数字科技的非均衡推进,部分社会成员尤其是数字弱势群体不能平等享有“数字红利”。作为智慧社会的特殊群体,数字弱势群体因技术复杂、社会分层、个人资源禀赋差异孕育而生,分为显性数字弱势群体与隐性数字弱势群体两大类。由于权利义务不完全对等、法律保护模式滞后、权利救济道路不通畅导致数字弱势群体平等权的法律保护陷入困境。本着尊重与保障人权的价值取向,我们要从理念、立法、政府、社会四个方面入手,采取具体措施帮助数字弱势群体实现权利的实质平等。

Equality is the core of democracy and human rights,is the premise and foundation for realizing justice.The right to equality is of great significance in the Constitution.With the unbalanced advancement of digital technology,some social members,especially digitally disadvantaged groups,can not enjoy the“digital dividend”equally.As a special group of intelligent society,the digital vulnerable groups are born due to technological complexity,social stratification,and differences in personal resource endowments.They are divided into two categories:the explicit digital vulnerable groups and the implicit digital vulnerable groups.The legal protection of the digital vulnerable groups'right to equality is in a dilemma because of the incomplete equivalence of rights and obligations,the lag of legal protection mode,and the unblocked way of right relief.In line with the value orientation of respecting and protecting human rights,we should take concrete measures to help the digital vulnerable groups realize the substantive equality of rights from four aspects:idea,legislation,government and society.
