| Sumario: | This article discusses the book *The Right Not to Use the Internet* (2025), which explores the concept of the fundamental right not to use the Internet and its implications for democracy and individual rights. The authors, European researchers in law, political science, and philosophy, analyze this right as an extension of the rights to inclusion, privacy, and non-discrimination, emphasizing the responsibility of governments to guarantee non-digital alternatives to public services. The book examines the causes of non-use, whether related to digital vulnerability or a desire to preserve one’s autonomy in the face of risks associated with the exploitation of personal data. Finally, it highlights the importance of recognizing this right as an individual choice, while noting a lack of empirical studies and the limited consideration of non-users’ voices in the debate.
