Net Neutrality

Internet Service Providers should treat all network data equally, without restriction or throttling based on the type of content, the content provider, or any other criterion. The appropriate regulatory body (currently OFCOM) would be responsible for enforcing this policy and dealing with breaches.

Internet Freedom

We support the declaration of internet freedom which believes in the following principles:

  • We stand for a free and open Internet.
  • We support transparent and participatory processes for making Internet policy and the establishment of five basic principles:
  • Expression: Don't censor the Internet.
  • Access: Promote universal access to fast and affordable networks. Openness: Keep the Internet an open network where everyone is free to connect, communicate, write, read, watch, speak, listen, learn, create and innovate. Innovation: Protect the freedom to innovate and create without permission. Don’t block new technologies and don’t punish innovators for their users' actions. Privacy: Protect privacy and defend everyone’s ability to control how their data and devices are used.

Didn't you already agree on #115? :)

We could spell it out more though, I guess.

I was just going to suggest we start a separate repo for an Internet Users Bill of Rights as per today's Web We Want call to action. If we did, perhaps this section of the manifesto could point to that?

Given that #115 has been merged, @PaulJRobinson do you want to revisit this or close it if you're happy?

@philipjohn I hope one of the existing organisations is already doing that :)
