Abstract

The study deals with the issue of citizenship, feeling and practicing it in light of the digital revolution that has become a feature of this era, as this concept took a different image from its traditional image, which was summarized in feeling love for the homeland and making real efforts to raise it and dignity, and then obtain its privileges and rights, so the citizen turned through it into a digital citizen who exercises his rights and love for the homeland in its digital form and his desire for the safety of its members through the Internet and new media applications, which lost citizenship after its real dimension and realistic image, in the absence of The citizen is in the workplace at all levels effectively, considering that digital citizenship, a set of rules, controls, standards, customs, ideas and principles followed in the optimal use of technology, in order to contribute to the advancement of the country, by a digital citizen, who is the person who understands the value of digital technology and uses it to research and seek opportunities to implement it and have an impact within the digital home.  Because it has become a reality that cannot   Ignoring it within the framework of e-governments, and communication technology, and some countries have stipulated it with special laws, so that most of its daily activities are of a digital and technological nature to exercise its rights and perform its obligations, and work to establish a new term called "global or digital citizenship" based legally on a citizen identification number, and this right and that stipulated in the Iraqi Constitution of 2005, within its texts, but these articles did not show us an accurate and clear constitutional organization for this freedom.
