Description
Today, we live in a society that is made up of information. Information has become an essential part of our lives. Companies and countries collect personal data on a large scale, produce various analyses, and use this to gain profits or exercise power. On the other hand, we still do not fully understand how data can be a weakness of basic human rights.
Under these circumstances, personal data sovereignty is a task of the times that must be considered. Even in the modern era, changes in society have not often resulted in changes in basic human rights. According to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights issued by the United Nations, they have the rights to freedom (thoughts, expressions, rallies, religions, etc.), equality, life and safety, property ownership, education, labor, social security, political corruption, and privacy. The Constitution of Korea guarantees equality and freedom, political participation and expression of opinion, labor and education, economic activities and property acquisition, and legal proceedings. Democracy is the spirit that carries out these values of basic rights, and the Republic of Korea has made efforts to ensure that the state guarantees the dignity of individuals in society through the interests and struggles of citizens since its establishment.
However, now that humans are active in the new digital space, the topic of digital rights is needed. Activities in the digital space are linked to reality and have an impact, and personal data is already deeply connected to human fundamental rights. Now, individual rights cannot be protected if the flow of information is not controlled. However, reckless restrictions are not everything. Technology is already developing rapidly. In addition, Korean culture and system pursuing extreme convenience and efficiency is a must- consideration.
Now, we need to deal with data sovereignty as a right, not just expanding basic rights and applying them to a digital world made up of data. In this session, I would like to present directions based on the GDPR on how to realize digital democracy in Korea, focusing on the three points of discussion.
