Social:Declaration of Internet Freedom
From HandWiki
The Declaration of Internet Freedom is a 2012 online declaration in defence of online freedoms signed by a number of prominent organisations and individuals.[1][2] Notable signatories include Amnesty International, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Reporters Without Borders, and the Mozilla Foundation, among others. The declaration supports the establishment of five basic principles for Internet policy:
- Non-censorship of the Internet
- Universal access to fast and affordable networks
- Freedom to connect, communicate, create and innovate over the Internet.
- Protection for new technologies and innovators whose innovations are abused by users.
- Privacy rights and the ability for Internet user to control information about them is used.
The declaration started to be translated through a collaborative effort started by Global Voices in August 2012[3] and at the end of the first week of August, it had been made available into 70 languages, almost half of which were provided by Project Lingua volunteer translators.
