Abstract

U ovom se radu prikazuje doseg prava na slobodu izražavanja u kontekstu komentiranja članaka u elektroničkim publikacijama. Ispituje se tko je prema trenutačnom nacionalnom uređenju odgovoran odnosno koga autorica smatra da bi trebao biti odgovoran za sadržaje u komentarima. Ova tematika je u Republici Hrvatskoj vrlo aktualna jer je u listopadu 2021. donesen novi Zakon o elektroničkim medijima oko kojeg je i mjesecima prije donošenja bila česta rasprava, najviše oko pitanja odgovornosti elektroničkih publikacija za sav sadržaj. U radu se analiziraju odredbe tog zakona koje se odnose na elektroničke publikacije te također pitanje građanskopravne i kaznenopravne odgovornosti. Naglasak se stavlja na govor mržnje – pojam čest u mnogim međunarodnim konvencijama i preporukama koje su obrađene u kontekstu granica slobode izražavanja. Stavljen je fokus na domaće zakonodavstvo i relevantnu praksu Europskog suda za ljudska prava. Za ovaj rad provedeno je i istraživanje koliko je lako na domaćim portalima sakriti identitet pri pisanju komentara i samim time otežati kazneni progon, odnosno koliko ozbiljno elektroničke publikacije pristupaju ispunjavanju obvezi koje im je zakon naložio kao uvjet za oslobođenje od odgovornosti za cjelokupan sadržaj uključujući i komentare.

Abstract (english)

In this paper, the right to freedom of expression is presented in the context of commenting on articles in electronic publications. This paper will examine who is responsible in the current national system, and whom the author believes should be responsible for the content of comments. This topic is popular in the Republic of Croatia because of the new Electronic Media Act that was passed in October 2021, which was frequently discussed in the months before its adoption, mostly because of the possibility of electronic publications being responsible for all content. This paper analyzes the provisions of this law relating to electronic publications, and the issue of civil and criminal liability. Emphasis will be placed on hate speech - a term common in many international conventions and recommendations that have been addressed in the context of the limits of freedom of expression. The focus is on domestic legislation and relevant case law of the European Court of Human Rights. For the purpose of this paper research was conducted on the simplicity of hiding user's identity when writing comments on Croatian news websites which makes prosecution more difficult, and seriousness that electronic publications approach the obligations imposed by law as a condition for exemption from liability for all content, including comments.
