Abstract

As freedom of expression shifts to social media, this article challenges the current “transfer of power” from states to tech giants. It examines the risks of AI-driven censorship, the lack of due process in content moderation, and the danger of algorithmic “bias”. The author argues for a clearer regulation of cyberspace to prevent fundamental rights from being undermined by automated filters.
