As more and more of our activities move online and the internet plays an integral role in our day to day lives, it must be remembered that the rights we enjoy as American citizens do not stop at technology’s doorstep. It is important, therefore, to ensure that the protections established in the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights serve Americans in the digital world just as effectively as they do in the real world. With this in mind, we therefore propose a Digital Bill of Rights:
- The right to due process shall be preserved in the digital realm.
- The internet does not give government agencies the right to tax or regulate outside of their proper jurisdictions.
- The right to freedom of expression shall be preserved online.
- Government shall not erect barriers to prevent or control internet access.
- The right to secure data shall not be compromised.
