Teledemocracia, ciberciudadania y derechos humanos

Abstract

This article analyzes the new social movements in the era of new forms, media, information and communication technologies on the democratic debate. In these kind of societies, the science, Law, Ethics, Economics and Politics, a “technological responsibility” ask for a reflective and critical attitude which deviates from the sinister ‘computopia’ image provided by Yeneji Masuda. The “teledemocracy” is the term used to describe the theories and practical phenomena related to the effect of NT (New Technology) in politics, which in the broadest sense is represented by teledemocracy, defined by the projection of NT processes in political participation in democratic societies. A weaker version of this teledemocracy is expressed in the NT intervention of parliamentary representative democracy. A stronger version of teledemocracy is expressed by the NT intervention in the direct or participatory democracy, with advantages. However, there are also identificable limits on teledemocracy, such as desterritorialization and others. Finally are established three points necessary for the universal right to have access to cyberspace and its protection and conservation as a free and equal social, as a right that should be above state monopolies, the oligarchic business. These points are summarized in equality and freedom of cyberspace, the strengthening of critical culture and protection of cybercitizenship
