Abstrakt: The paper focuses on newly developing trends in European Court’s of Human Rights jurisprudence concerning freedom of expression. Analysis focuses on cases where disputes originated in digital space and a question was raised whether interference with the freedom of expression was prescribed by law. Examination of such cases led to a conclusion that for the latter question a number of factors might be relevant besides the wording of domestic law.
