"The White House announced today that sixty one countries have signed the
Declaration for the Future of the Internet. The high-level vision and
principles expressed in the Declaration—to have a single, global network that
is truly open, fosters competition, respects privacy and inclusion, and
protects human rights and fundamental freedoms of all people—are laudable.
But clearly they are aspirational. Implementing these principles will require
many signatory countries to change their current practices, which include
censoring online speech of marginalized communities, failing to build out
affordable high-speed internet, using malware and mass surveillance to spy on
users, fostering misinformation, secretly collecting personal information, and
pressuring big tech platforms to police online speech
We are pleased that the Declaration lays out important standards for achieving
a free, open, and human rights-protecting Internet. Hopefully, the signatories
to the Declaration will deliver on the Declaration’s promises, by aligning
their practices, policies, and laws with its principles."
Cheers,
