IBOR repost sorry can’t make graphic. Q said push IBOR! We need to formulate a list of things to include in it that we can promote and hopefully get some traction so maybe a rep will propose a bill to make it law!
Here is a current list of things to be included into the IBOR that I can think of so far:
#1.) The right to be anonymous.
We shouldn’t be required to give our real name to use any website, email, commenting service, forum or social media etc.
To weed out spam by using 2auth app or text is reasonable however no company should be allowed to use that for anything advertising related. (This is a tricky one so needs some further discussion.)
#2.) The right to be forgotten. No company should be allowed to catalog a persons entire search, web history, interests etc from their entire lifetime without their permission.
There should be an easily accessible one click ‘Opt Out’ link for anyone to access that would inform the owner of the site or ad company that they must delete all the metadata about you. (This is tricky because of advertising identifiers etc needs further discussion.)
The right to be forgotten should also make it illegal for websites to have online directories of peoples home addresses and phone numbers without their consent.
Any site that does online directories of names, phone numbers and home addresses of individuals should allow an opt out that is easily accessible.
Also gossip based sites like ‘thedirty’ which publishes mostly smear stories by anonymous people should also be made to take down slanderous posts if someone demands it to be.
Thedirty is immune from lawsuits as they claim the posts are made by people and not him but he won’t reveal the identity of the people who make up lies and post it there.
#3.) The right to think freely. None of these sites which offer revenue streams or have a considerable market share (monopoly) should be allowed to ‘demonetize’ or filter out legitimate political viewpoints which differs from theirs. This is social engineering and to take away peoples earnings because you disagree with their viewpoint or it’s not convenient for your agenda is tantamount to economic sanctions. This is not neutrality.
This is just a start..
Any techfags or anyone have anything to add?
