Q, please check out my 1st draft for the IBOR.
I'm assuming that pushing for IBOR will be easier when it's not abstract. I know it still needs lots of work, but it's a starting point.
PS it might have been a bit presumptuous of me to use the Q seal of approval. So if you don't approve, I'll make sure to take that off.
Feet not related. Just a sentimental foot print. The IBOR is pic-related though.
Anons, I could really use some feedback with the IBOR draft. Here's the text version:
Internet Bill of Rights (IBOR)
It’s about time that we bring the security standards that safeguard our democratic institutions to the 21st century. We need protection from international/corporate special interests that might want to subvert our democracy by exploiting social media sites, search engines, etc. Likewise we need anti-trust protection from potential interference in democracy by the tech giants that have become our primary forums for public debate and information flow. As such, these corporations are currently entrusted with unprecedented power with virtually no oversight. Also, we need protection from our own government that might want to pressure/conspire with tech giants to cheat against democracy. Finally we must protect small tech companies/orgs/public formus with minimal impact on democracies from having to comply with the anti-trust regulations. We have a responsibility to ammend our Bill of Rights with the the digital age in mind, or we may soon wake up as slaves.
We the People Declare the Internet Bill of Rights (IBOR) as a digital extension of our God-given unalienable rights to free speech and privacy.
Every public digital entity (website/app/parent company/etc) that in some way processes at least 10% of a politically relevant national market such as media/social media/search engines/etc shall comply with IBOR’s Anti-Trust Clauses (ATC1 & ATC2).
ATC1: An IBOR-regulated entity shall not in any way restrict service or censor content unless there’s an explicit violation of a non-ambiguous rule that applies consistently & non-discriminately to all users.
ATC2: Every restricted user of an ATC-complient entity has a right to challenge the restriction in court/arbitration.
Law enforcement and intelligence agencies shall not demand any restrictions towards any user from any digital entity, unless they get a warrent, requiring high-likelihood evidence of criminal intent, which may be prevented with the restrictions.
A digital entity can only engage in server-side tracking consentually, and must offer its users the opt-out, “forget-me-now” option.
I know there's a petition. I heard the signatures were disappearing. In any event I'm not an American, so I probably can't sign that. Besides mine is a draft of the IBOR itself, not the petition, but the next step.
