PODACI I PRIVATNOST NA INTERNETU – BEZBEDNOST NA MREŽI

Offering in reality what until then existed only at the level of fiction and irrationality, the Internet has, in recent years, taken over our lives. One of the greatest achievements of global civilizational trends, it has changed trade, business, entertainment, the world... penetrating into communication, medicine, politics, the military, the scientific community... At that point, this kind of reality becomes irreplaceable. It becomes an integral part of our lives. But, with a great leap forward, this global network of information ("a large international-global database") also shows its other, dark side - it brings problems that are not only historically new, but also difficult to solve. It is understandable then, and often futile, the effort to outwit the multiple manipulations and abuses that surround and block their consumers, individuals and companies. And speaking of abuses in the Internet, the list is long - from the fact that it can be misused as a database, to attacks on other people's privacy, stalking, cybermobbing, sexual harassment, human trafficking, etc. In this way, the biggest problem has opened up - the issue of security on the Internet. The topics are extremely important, complex and very current, an issue that is attracting increasing attention, both because of the importance of the critical information structure for the national economy and security, and because of the interaction of policies that deal with fundamental human rights "sensitive to ICT", such as privacy and data protection. In our further theoretical discussion, it is emphasized that in recent years the right to privacy has mainly been linked to personal data, and in this direction - when talking about privacy, it is almost always done in the context of processing personal data. There are appropriate legal regulations at the international and national levels that deal with this topic. Thus, in 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force, which applies to EU member states, while in our country, in order to comply with the GDPR, the legislator passed the Personal Data Protection Act. When it comes to criminal law protection, it is provided for by the Criminal Code, more precisely Art. 147 - Unauthorized collection of personal data. This already hints at the issues that the author is trying to investigate and comment on here. In fact, he starts from a general orientation and explains what the threat to this right is, and through a description of the current state - regulatory frameworks in the EU, he also presents solutions in the legislation of the countries of the former SFRY, thereby providing a clearer picture of the criminal law protection of this, one of the fundamental human rights.
