Create a Cyber Charter of Fundamental Rights

I believe that we need for the cyberspace a Charter of Fundamental Rights, the John Perry Barlow’s “Declaration of the Independence of supplements Cyber Space” from the year 1996. To me it’s not about to give the Internet a constitution. That would be almFost a rape of Barlow’s teachings, which he so eloquently, indeed almost grandiose points out, has. We need security in cyberspace with no government, we need freedom.

This Bill of Rights is to establish the fundamental freedoms of the Internet, which must be protected against restrictions imposed by governments, companies, institutions, criminals, insurgents and criminal gangs. Google behaves in the confrontation with China as the ambassador of the ancient world of the Internet according to its own (rediscovered) Enterprise principles. It is therefore wise to determine our own principles and to discuss.

A traffic accident is a traumatic experience at the best times. It could be much worse if proper procedures are not followed after the accident, so you can file your claim. The following points will help.

* In the U.S. insurance laws decree that it is imperative to inform your insurance company immediately after the accident. Call your insurance agent immediately and if possible get him to the crash site before the cars moved. Otherwise, make certain you can contact your insurance company at the earliest.

* Gather all information about other driver and his vehicle, especially with respect to its insurance company and policy. This is even more important if the other motorist was responsible for the accident. In this case, prompt action will ensure his company that meets all requirements and no deductibles transferable to you. Read the rest of this entry »

Cyber Charter of Fundamental Rights : V – IX

Here anothers of our Rights that we have to fight in cyber space…

VI. We have the Right to Maintain Control Over Our Data

Everyone should have access to the data that are available about him. What does that, one should not be taken. We want content on the Internet are in principle transferable to ensure that data and products of individuals can not be kept under wraps by a provider or a government. We must keep in mind that the control that a person is given, another is taken, the devil is in those details. This principle therefore also relates to the issue of copyright and related laws that purport to restrict and what exactly is a protected work. Also this principle raises questions about whether the wisdom of the masses belongs to the masses.

Cyber Charter of Fundamental Rights

There are several of our Rights that we have to fight in cyber space…

I. We have the Right to Link to Us

Before we can talk to each other, we need to get in touch with each other. Hillary Clinton defined free networking as “the idea that government is the people’s access to the Internet, websites or contact the people should not stop themselves.” This principle also a basis for the discussion of network neutrality.

II We have the Right to Express Ourselves Freely

No one may curtail our right to freedom of expression. We recognize that there must be limits.But these limits should be defined as precisely as possible, so we must use in relation to an infringement not necessarily always the lowest common denominator. Freedom is our standard.
