Digital private autonomy: exercising the right to freedom in an onlife world

The research proposes, as its theme, the investigation and understanding of the legal nature of digital autonomy. Thus, the research problem is posed as follows: how does private autonomy materialize in the digital context? As a hypothesis, it is assumed that digital autonomy constitutes a branch of private autonomy with its own specific characteristics in the digital environment. The general objective of the research is, therefore, to investigate the limits and specifications of the principle of private autonomy in the electronic context. As a theoretical framework, the concept of mutable private autonomy in the conception of Pietro Perlingieri will be used. The reason why this study is done can be translated by the need to protect human beings in the digital environment.
