The European union has during the past decade actively tried to change strategy and formulate new regulations on the digital arena where the focus on fundamental rights has been a central strategy. The notion of universal rights has however received critic for being too western oriented and one can question what these rights actually mean, where do they originate from and what effects on society does this discourse of rights have? By analyzing the language use and policy of the “Digital services act and fundamental rights issues posed” from a poststructuralist perspective the study aims to increase the understanding of the discourse behind EU:s digital strategy and compare the results to earlier research where discourses on digital rights has been identified. By doing so the study concludes EU has a different approach to digital rights compared to the one presented in earlier research. There’s also a prominent security discourse imbedded within the digital strategy of the EU.
