In this article, the author addresses the issue of net neutrality and its relationship with freedom of speech. Specifically, he studies if net neutrality policies that operate ex ante regulations really have an important and supportive role in the protection of freedom of speech on the internet. Thus, the aim is to review certain premises that support the current regulations that rule net neutrality and the other fundamental rights with which these regulations collide. In that way, the article gives a conceptual framework of the actors in cyberspace; later, it presents the arguments with which net neutrality has been connected with freedom of speech; and, finally, the author makes a critic about the importance that has been given to net neutrality in the protection of freedom of speech and the possible collisions with other fundamental rights that they may have.

The use of new information and communication technologies in different areas of society is increasing. On one hand, there is no doubt that technology has a positive impact on society.However, on the other, its application cannot be unrestricted, but rather, based on a harmonious reading of the Constitution, it must be limited on the basis of material criteria such as fundamental rights. In this article, the authors analyze the irruption of new technologies –such as big data and algorithms– in the general theory of fundamental rights, delimiting their concepts, foundations, contents, among others. In addition, the authors explore the impact on certain fundamental rights such as personal freedom and privacy. Finally, from a critical point of view, they distinguish when the use of these new technologies in specific situations becomes constitutional or, failing that, unconstitutional.
