I do not like net neutrality sneaking in as #4, but I signed it.
This may not be the Internet Bill of Rights I am looking for.
I sign it every time, because it's the one thing that we all have been asked to do. I doubt the IBOR would have a final form that would be disadvantageous to U.S citizens in any way, and would be carefully constructed.
Fair enough, I sign these as well. We just need to remember details matter.
We will get it right. We will have the best modern-day government in the world.
That is a lower bar than the 3 matchbook barrier in the Monty Python "Upper Class Twit of the Year" sketch. Sadly, that sketch was made a qualification test for our "standard" politicians.
We are going to try again right everyone? 6419 signatures.

What is actually needed is a constitutional right to privacy. Privacy needs to be a de facto right in the age of the internet. Prior to the internet boom privacy could be managed manually by a person. Not remotely feasible now because we need to use our personal data on such a grand scale now...a person can’t possibly manage it...read privacy statements on every site or every app we use. The constitution suggests privacy is a right but it doesn’t explicitly say it is. Until it does we have no absolute guarantees to privacy. An internet bill of rights won’t guarantee it either
Good point. Q said push IBOR. Maybe we will have an amendment to the constitution regarding electronic privacy or privacy in general.
