Declaration of Internet Freedom

Overview
In late June 2012, a coalition of privacy groups, websites and individuals unveiled a Declaration of Internet Freedom. The Declaration advocates 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.
