Summary/Abstract: The subject of the study is the issue of the need to create culture in cyberspace. The cyberspace opens many opportunities for people which facilitate everyday life and also supports the functioning of the society. The aim of this studies is to show the impact of cyberspace on human rights, their perception, respect, but also on the new possibilities of breaking them. Apart from preliminary considerations and the explanation of the importance of basic concepts, two examples of violations and possible counteracting violations of human rights (the right to health and freedom of speech) have been discussed. The conclusion of this study is the belief that traditional measures, i.e. statutory restrictions and monitoring mechanisms, are insufficient. It is necessary to undertake a broad educational campaign aimed at promoting the principles of good use of the benefits of cyberspace. The result of these activities will be the emerging cyberculture.
