Veronica Church Vs Bt Instant

Through doctrinal analysis and applied ethics, the paper examines: (1) whether a private telecommunications company can be considered a “state actor” for human rights purposes; (2) the scope of corporate obligations to accommodate individual conscientious objection in digital spaces; and (3) the proportionality of surveillance-based business models against the harm to minority beliefs.
