Tijdschriftbijdrage - Tijdschriftartikel
Access to social media and control by police: a first legal exploration from the human rights perspective
In this paper the legal framework of Belgian police access to social media is outlined, including the impact that such access has on human rights such as the right to privacy and freedom of expression. After analysing in part 1 how the police can make use of social media, we examine in part 2 police access to public information on social media. Part 3 analyses how the police can have access to non- public information on social media. The question whether the Belgian police has the ability to deny individuals access to social media is assessed in part 4 and the - related - question whether there exists a right to anonymous access to social media is examined in part 5.
