ALGORITHMS AND FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS: THE CASE OF AUTOMATED ONLINE FILTERS

The information that we see on the internet is increasingly tailored by automated ranking and filtering algorithms used by online platforms, which significantly interfere with the exercise of fundamental rights online, particularly the freedom of expression and information. The EU’s regulation of th...
