Summary/Abstract: Freedom of expression, although not absolute, represents, in the vision of the European Court of Human Rights, one of the pillars of democracy. Concerning the area of application of art. 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, judges from Strasbourg considered that any form or manner of expressing thoughts or ideas outside the personal sphere is a matter of conventional freedom of expression. In this perspective, the EHR Court has established through its recent years’ jurisprudence that the modern means of expression, such as the Internet pages, Facebook, Youtube, as well as the language proper to the digital era, fall within the scope of the art. 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
