Hynek Trojánek, representative of IuRe, the only organization in Czechia that has been fighting for privacy protection for a long time, summarizes current developments in the field of digital rights.
According to Instagram influencers, 2026 is the year of digital minimalism. It is fair to laugh at the fact that digital detox is being promoted on Instagram. However, the situation is more interesting than that:
2026 is also the year when, due to the geopolitical situation, many users are becoming aware of
their dependence on American BigTech tools and are trying to do something about it. Where do these two groups intersect and where do they diverge? What could the meeting of these two groups lead to?
Hynek Trojánek works for IuRe (Iuridicum Remedium), an organization that has been working to protect privacy and digital rights for more than twenty years. He has participated in Europe-wide campaigns against facial recognition cameras and for the right to communicate with the state offline.
