The internet and other digital technologies have made it possible to communicate and study information faster and in greater quantities than ever before. Freedom of expression remains one of the most important rights in a functioning democratic society. The aim of this project is to analyze whether the conditions for exercising freedom of expression can be considered to have changed fundamentally since the beginning of the digital age. This is done by comparing how four different countries have adapted their national freedom of expression guarantees to the digital environment. The countries covered by this study are Sweden, Finland, France and the United Kingdom. Different ways of regulating freedom of expression online, possibilities to censor online communications and content, and conflicts between freedom of expression, on the one hand, and the right to privacy and security, on the other, will be studied in the context of these four legal systems. Similarities and differences between these countries will be analyzed in order to draw general conclusions on the adaptation of freedom of expression to the digital environment. Based on these conclusions, it will be discussed whether our understanding of freedom of expression is outdated and should change as a result of the changes brought about by the digital age. In addition to offering an insight into the status of digital freedom of expression in four legal systems, this project aims to highlight how the nature and context of freedom of expression can change over time.
