Anti-SOPA veterans issue declaration of Internet freedom

Anti-SOPA veterans issue declaration of Internet freedom:


A January 2012 protest against Internet censorship in New York City.

On Monday, a broad coalition of public interest groups and Internet leaders issued a document they called the Declaration of Internet Freedom. Signatories included the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Public Knowledge, Free Press, the Mozilla Foundation, and dozens of others.
"We stand for a free and open Internet," the statement reads. "We support transparent and participatory processes for making Internet policy and the establishment of five basic principles." Those principles are:
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.
