Summary/Abstract: The foundation of any knowledge-based society are the individual's right to information and the freedom of expression, both of which stand as the basis of a democratic society and of the other rights and freedoms. When it comes to the right to information, one must bear in mind that everyone has the right to access information, which is imperative for their social development. At both European and national level, the right to information is guaranteed, but it is a right likely to be limited.Within the study I will analyse the manner in which the limitation of the right to information is made in order to provide measures for the protection of young people. In a society with a rapidly evolving information technology, accessible to a growing number of people (including minors), it is necessary to adopt technical and legislative measures meant to ensure a harmonious development of young people without affecting them physically, mentally or even economically.On the other hand, as with any approach to the guarantees and limitations of a fundamental right, a balance must be maintained between the two measures, so that the right itself should not be emptied of content and the measures be circumscribed to the objective pursued, the protection of young people. The challenges in this area are even greater as we are already talking about instantaneous, immediate communication, which does not comply with well-defined rules, especially in the on-line environment.
