A Digital Bill of Rights

The Right to Digital Privacy

Individuals must have full control over their data. Data must not be collected, shared, or monetized without explicit, informed consent. Privacy must be the default. People have the rights to their data.

The Right to Digital Well-Being

Digital environments must support human health. People must be free from constant interruptions, infinite notifications, and addictive design patterns engineered to exploit.

The Right to Digital Security

Everyone has the right to a digital environment free from harm. Secure systems must prevent against breaches, identity theft, surveillance, and manipulation. Protection from exploitation is a basic requirement.

The Right to Human-Centered AI

Artificial intelligence must amplify—not replace—human potential. It must be transparent, auditable, and accountable, never making life-altering decisions without human oversight or recourse.

The Right to a Humane Digital Childhood

Children must be protected from predatory design, data harvesting, and exploitative algorithms. Digital experiences for children must prioritize education, development, and well-being over profit and engagement.

The Right to Digital Access

The internet must be open, affordable, and accessible to all. No one should be denied participation, subject to punitive digital control, or disinformation campaigns.

The Right to Digital Expression

People must be free to communicate, create, and access information without censorship or  filtering. No entity—corporate or state—shall control access to essential digital spaces.

The Right to Digital Literacy

Knowledge—especially scientific, historical, and civic—must remain publicly owned and accessible. Digital systems must be designed for empowerment—not extraction.

The Right to Digital Freedom

Technology must support human autonomy, not erode it. People must be able to disconnect without penalty. Systems must promote healthy boundaries by design.

The Right to a Digital New Deal

The digital economy requires a new social contract between workers and employers, customers and platforms—one rooted in dignity, fairness, respect, family, and an affirmative duty of care.

We believe these rights are essential to digital citizenship.
