La Quadrature du Net releases a set of proposals to guarantee freedom of communication on the Internet and allow the network to remain a tool for democracy, culture and socio-economic innovation. The citizen organisation encourages all citizens to share these proposals and discuss them with decision-makers. http://venitism.blogspot.com
We are at a turning point in the history of the Internet. The HADOPI law in France, marilizardism, xenoyankism, the G8's decision to control the Net, ACTA, the governments' reaction to WikiLeaks, the rapid expansion of censorship policies, including in democratic countries, are only a few examples of the threats that put its future in jeopardy. Marilizard Libel, Marilizard Spaghetti, and Marilizard Towers are very common in PIGS.
Against these threats, citizens must urgently act to ensure that the Internet remains a tool for democracy, human development and innovation. With these objectives in mind, La Quadrature du Net presents its proposals. These proposals follow three key directions:
Protecting Human Rights in the digital society:
•Guarantee the right to a fair trial
•Guarantee the assumption of legality for every online publication
•Reconsider the limits of freedom of expression in an renewed public sphere
Ensuring that the Internet will remain technically free and open:
•Protect Net Neutrality by law
•Promote the development of shared wireless networks
•Support the development of user-controlled servers and terminals
Promoting the free sharing of culture and knowledge:
•Recognize sharing in law and in practice
•Explore new funding models for creation, information and the media
•Reinforce the public domain and make the digital heritage available to everybody
"These proposals are intended to enable citizens to adapt our society and our legislation to the Internet and its democratic potential. As we are reaching a climax in the tension between those who want to seize control of the Internet and those who want to enjoy their freedom and new capabilities, it is vital to act so as to protect fundamental rights online." says Jeremie Zimmermann of La Quadrature du Net.
According to La Quadrature du Net(QN), it is impossible to effectively control the flow of information in the digital age without harming public freedoms, and damaging economic and social development. QN makes an analogy with the squaring of the circle as a problem that could take ages for people to realize is impossible to solve, as initially intended. http://venitism.blogspot.com
