The contribution first addresses a question of method, concerning the need for the jurist to interact with specialists from other branches of knowledge to adequately regulate technology. This method characterises what is referred to as digital constitutionalism: the regulation of new technologies must aim to protect the fundamental rights of individuals and, as far as necessary for this purpose, place limits on public and now especially private powers. The methodological theme is considered not in the abstract but with reference to two concrete cases: the one that concerned TikTok in the United States, which highlights possible repercussions on freedom of expression, for the demonstration of which the technological aspect is indispensable, and the one that concerned Meta and SIAE in Italy, concerning which the Council of State has already demonstrated considerable technological sensitivity.
Il contributo affronta anzitutto una questione di metodo, relativa alla necessità che il giurista interagisca con gli specialisti di altre branche del sapere per regolamentare adeguatamente la tecnologia. Questo metodo caratterizza quello che viene definito costituzionalismo digitale: la regolamentazione delle nuove tecnologie deve mirare alla tutela dei diritti fondamentali degli individui e, per quanto occorra a tale scopo, porre dei limiti ai poteri pubblici e ormai soprattutto privati. Il tema metodologico viene preso in considerazione non in astratto ma con riferimento a due casi concreti: quello che ha riguardato TikTok negli Stati Uniti, che evidenzia possibili ripercussioni sulla libertà di espressione, per la cui dimostrazione l’aspetto tecnologico risulta imprescindibile, e quello che ha riguardato Meta e SIAE in Italia, rispetto al quale il Consiglio di Stato ha già dimostrato notevole sensibilità tecnologica.

Abstract
The contribution first addresses a question of method, concerning the need for the jurist to interact with specialists from other branches of knowledge to adequately regulate technology. This method characterises what is referred to as digital constitutionalism: the regulation of new technologies must aim to protect the fundamental rights of individuals and, as far as necessary for this purpose, place limits on public and now especially private powers. The methodological theme is considered not in the abstract but with reference to two concrete cases: the one that concerned TikTok in the United States, which highlights possible repercussions on freedom of expression, for the demonstration of which the technological aspect is indispensable, and the one that concerned Meta and SIAE in Italy, concerning which the Council of State has already demonstrated considerable technological sensitivity.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
