Abstract: The article addresses human rights, in particular freedom of expression and the right to privacy, including on the internet, proposing to emphasize the issue of their dialectics in the context of contemporary digital society that, in the face of the digitization of modern life, faces many challenges. It becomes necessary in this way to understand, through a theoretical review, the history of fundamental human rights, a psychosocial analysis of the concepts of freedom and privacy, the normative framework in which they fall, the internet as a platform for exercising rights and freedoms, the problems associated with it, digital data and people's movements, citizen surveillance, social engineering of power, online social networks and e-commerce, and spaces of trust and conflict.
