JF - UNIO – EU Law Journal JA - unio VL - 5 IS - 2 SE - Article DO - 10.21814/unio.5.2.2292 UR - https://revistas.uminho.pt/index.php/unio/article/view/2292 SP - 63-74 AB - <p>This Article intends to develop the notion of status activus digitalis as a fundamental legal condition of the individual in times of digital democracy. Participation in procedures and deliberation (status activus processualis) appears as a central element of democracy, a context in which access to information plays a strategic role. In this scenario, the digital environment enhances this participation (status activus digtialis), while the use of fake news affects this information and, consequently, the public debate, representing a real (not fake!) threat to democracy.</p> ER -
