Toolkit Infosheet 8 - Digitalisation and Democracy

The EU promotes an open, global, free, safe, secure, resilient, and privacy-based Internet that is respectful of human rights. These principles should be reflected in projects supporting and making use of digitalisation, so as not to cause harm to human rights and democracy. This infosheet provides an overview of the opportunities, challenges and threats related to digital technologies, drawing on information presented in the Democracy and Digitalisation Handbook.
