The Debate on"Digital Human Rights"in the Digital Age
The Fourth Industrial Revolution,characterized by the advent of the digital age,is increas-ingly clear.In this context,the question of whether human rights will evolve into"the fourth-generation"is gradually becoming important.History shows that technological iterations in the industrial revolution cannot change the premise of human rights———"human".According to Marx's analysis of the industrial revolu-tion,"human species-essence"cannot be confused with"alienation",so the view that"human beings are digital beings"is worth questioning.The so-called"fourth-generation human rights"originates from the the-oretical misleading of"three generations of human rights",which destroys the systemic nature of human rights and denies its adaptability to respond technological change.In the overall structure of human rights,civil rights drive the industrial revolution while also carrying the risk of"alienation".The participation func-tion of political rights and the national goal setting function of social rights respectively constitute mechanisms for overcoming alienation.This human rights framework itself has a strong potential to respond to the industri-al revolution,and its core will not"iterate"in the digital age.Therefore,the Fourth Industrial Revolution will not produce a"fourth generation of human rights".
