Paragraph 71
 

In any case, in line with the Venice Commission’s previous recommendations, it is necessary to affirm and protect the right to anonymity on the internet, regulate and strictly limit the creation and use of profiles and to consider developing a specific (international/Council of Europe) legal instrument to address the risks that the use of digital technologies in elections represents to personal data protection. It is also essential to ensure easy access by users to their personal data in hands of the ISPs, including personal data for the information they reveal relating to political opinions in particular.
