Protecting human rights in cyberspace is a multifaceted challenge that involves upholding fundamental rights such as freedom of expression, privacy, and access to information while addressing the evolving issues presented by technology and actions taken by states and corporations. Achieving these aims requires key strategies that include preventing internet shutdowns, ensuring ethical use of technologies like facial recognition, promoting secure communication tools, and nurturing an environment conducive to the work of human rights defenders. Human Rights Protection in Cyberspace (HRPIC) encompasses these efforts to safeguard digital landscapes amid India’s rapid growth to over 900 million internet users by 2025. This Digital Rights Odyssey grapples with surveillance, censorship, cybercrimes, and pandemic-era mandates, blending legal advocacy, policy critiques, and techno-legal solutions to counter overreach and foster a rights-respecting cyberspace. Grassroots groups and analytics centers lead this charge.
