Digitalization of society has become pervasive during the last decade. The expansion of the Internet, the Web and mobile devices has critically modified the way that citizens interact with the physical and legal environment in an unprecedented manner. The rapid advancement, deployment and adoption of digital technologies by modern societies has brought in significant benefits and advances.

Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the REA. Neither the European Union nor the granting authority can be held responsible for them. person that speaks a foreign language. Digitalization has also been accelerated, thanks to the pandemic, and many digital transformation processes into society have been speed up due to the virtualization impetus that occurred during the COVID-19 crisis.

However, and together with these benefits, several drawbacks have also emerged too. The rapid digitalization of the physical and legal spaces has also brought significant backlashes. That is why different problems associated to digital technologies are attracting an increasing attention from public opinion such as digital divides, the proliferation of misinformation and propaganda on the online environment, privacy concerns, the rising of “filter bubbles”, the automation of biases and discrimination, and/or labor precarity fueled by digital platforms, among others.

    • Digital literacy and digital divides: The rapid advancement of digital technologies also creates divides in the population regarding access, knowledge and mastering of these technologies.
    • Misinformation and manipulation: Digital technologies have created new and powerful vehicles for old problems around communication and public debate. They also have raised serious threats for modern western democracies.
