Big Data e protezione internazionale dei diritti umani. Regole e conflitti.

[Autom. eng. transl.] The rules governing cyberspace are increasingly on a collision course with the principles set by the international order to protect human rights. The provision of similar 'axes of tension' is justified by the consideration for which the logic that innervates the entire supply chain of training, conservation, transfer and possible elimination of the different contents (data) available on the network is a logic of type 'predictive', inspired, that is, to an assumption for which a problem is calculable when it is solvable through an algorithm. In light of these considerations, the general question raised by this study is how to reconcile the regulatory function of international law - with particular reference to the numerous systems of protection of fundamental rights, which are often expressed in forms of protection of minorities - with the logic that increasingly underpins the policies based on the accumulation and counting of data and which, on the contrary, express the direction of the prevailing forces (especially on the market). How to reconcile, in other words, the predictive function with the prescriptive one.
