EDRi - Defending rights and freedoms online
PolicyIntern's bookmarks 2017-05-12
Summary:
We love the internet because it creates fantastic opportunities to express ourselves and to innovate.
But do we love it enough to pass it on to future generations?
Nearly 20 years ago, politicians made decisions that gave us the internet we have today. Visionary policy-makers decided not to punish internet companies for the actions of their customers. This created legal certainty to allow companies to build their businesses, reduced incentives to censor communications and allowed the internet to flourish.
It is our duty to protect this freedom.
