Hi Lisa and all
if it isn't too late, here's two more comments / requests for
improvements:
* The point on Privacy should IMO explicitly mention the right to
encrypted communication, without restriction on the ciphers
and keys that one is allowed to use.
Proposed wording:
"""
Everyone has the right to privacy online free from surveillance,
including the right to control how their personal data is collected,
used, disclosed, retained and disposed; and including the
unrestricted right to use encryption.
"""
* The point on Standards is currently too weak -- it is not enough to
say that "the Internet's architecture" shall be based on open
standards, as that can be understood to exclude higher-layer
communication services (think "Facebook", "Twitter", etc).
Proposed wording:
"""
The Internet's architecture and communication systems shall be based
on open standards that facilitate interoperability for all and
inclusion of all.
"""
Greetings,
Norbert
