The Rights to one’s own Interest and one’s Will in the Conditions of Digitalization of Property Relations

Abstract

From the analysis of the state of property relations mediated by digital information systems, it follows that they are highly likely associated with manipulation of public consciousness carried out by the owners of these systems in order to extract profit, which, at least, leads to a decrease in the level of trust in society, underlying any human interactions, and, as a consequence, increases conflict. It is proved that the probability of manipulation of public consciousness in “digitized” property relations entails doubts that their participants are actually guided by their real interest. It is proposed to comprehend one’s (personalized) interest and one’s (autonomous) will as subjective rights of the most general type, to determine the limits of their implementation and protection measures, including preventive ones, within the relevant provisions of civil, antimonopoly, information legislation, as well as legislation on the protection of personal data.
