Abstract
Over the past years, while the use of the internet has accelerated, it has increasingly ceased to be a mere option. Rather, it has turned into a de facto obligation for anyone who exercises their rights or fulfils their duties. These developments invite the question as to whether and to what extent people could be forced to use the internet or whether such an obligation conforms to democratic standards, amongst others. In this paper, I first set the scene by overviewing the reasons for the non-use of the internet and against its non-use. I then look at the possibilities of protecting individuals from the obligation to use the internet by means of human rights law, either as a new, standalone right or by way of interpretation of suitable existing rights. With this paper, I aim to establish the context and to kindle a debate that might eventually lead to a change in policy and practice.
