Norway's Supreme Court Considers Declaring Social Media Access a Human Right
The court debates the balance between human rights and public safety as a sex offender challenges his social media ban.
- A convicted sex offender in Norway has petitioned the Supreme Court to recognize social media access as a human right.
- The case emphasizes the role of social media in modern communication and freedom of expression.
- Legal arguments focus on the European Convention on Human Rights, suggesting the ban may violate freedom of expression.
- Previous appeals have upheld the ban, citing the offender's misuse of Snapchat to exploit children.
- The ruling, expected in the coming weeks, could set a significant precedent on social media access rights.
