Digital Policy, Regulation and Governance : The ontology of digital asset after death: policy complexities, suggestions and critique of digital platforms
- Share to:
Purpose – The digitization of the life has brought complexities associated with addressing digital life
after one’s death. This paper aims to investigate the two related issues of the privacy and property of
postlife digital assets.
Design/methodology/approach – The understanding of digital assets has not been fully unpacked
largely due to the current policy complexities in accessing and obtaining digital assets at death. This
paper calls critical attention to the importance of respecting user rights in digital environments that
currently favor service providers’ interests.
Findings – It is argued that there are ethical blind spots when protecting users’ rights, given no
ontological difference between a person’s digital beings and physical existence. These derive from the
restrictive corporate terms and ambiguous conditions drafted by digital service providers.
Originality/value – Fundamentally, the transition to the big data era, in which the collection, use and
dissemination of digital activities became integral part of the ontology, poses new challenges to privacy
and property rights after death
