Abstract

The digital era has transformed fundamental rights exercise, bringing both opportunities and challenges. This study investigates the impact of technology on rights, with a focus on freedom of expression and privacy. While technology improves civic engagement and education, it also introduces new risks such as misinformation and privacy violations. The right to privacy, which is enshrined in the Indian Constitution, is being tested by emerging threats such as electronic monitoring, audio bugging, location tracking, hacking, and online privacy concerns. The research recommends comprehensive regulatory structures that are adaptable to changing digital landscapes. For responsible digital citizenship, public awareness and education are essential.

Fostering conversation and collaboration is critical in the growing digital ecosystem to successfully solve issues and protect individual rights
