Abstract

Considering that after about 30 years of the Internet’s existence and
continuing appraisals thereof and other technological advances such as new business
models, artificial intelligence, etc., the chapter takes as its point of departure that it
has little by little having become time to embrace the darker realities of digitalisation.
Therefore, in particular, it analyses the interaction between free movement law and
fundamental rights by taking Case C-78/18 about the Hungarian NGO Transparency
Law as a stepping-stone to assess how the law stands today, both in general terms
and with regard to the (digital) internal market in particular, thereby enabling
insights into how an old regime embraces new realities. The case is of interest
because the Court of Justice of the European Union had to clarify if the Charter
should apply to national laws that are not directly implementing EU Law, but are
restricting the EU’s fundamental freedoms, and because it constitutes a very important step in upholding the rule of law and democracy in the EU’s Member States.
