Digital transformation has rightly been described as a “total social fact”. It is pervasive, ubiquitous, asymmetrical. It shapes things then relationships and individuals. Datafication, mediation and technological hypermediation connote new environments that people inhabit and where various forms of “digital pollution” (e.g. hate speech, falsehood, inadequate content, manipulation of behaviour, addiction) are to be expected. Focusing on children’s access to online services, this contribution aims to develop an idea of e-citizenship, the realisation of which could be useful to protect freedom and rights in front of their growing compression between market and security policies.

Abstract
Digital transformation has rightly been described as a “total social fact”. It is pervasive, ubiquitous, asymmetrical. It shapes things then relationships and individuals. Datafication, mediation and technological hypermediation connote new environments that people inhabit and where various forms of “digital pollution” (e.g. hate speech, falsehood, inadequate content, manipulation of behaviour, addiction) are to be expected. Focusing on children’s access to online services, this contribution aims to develop an idea of e-citizenship, the realisation of which could be useful to protect freedom and rights in front of their growing compression between market and security policies.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
