Declaration of Internet Freedom

OpenMedia is joining with tens of thousands of people and organizations from around the world to support the Declaration of Internet Freedom. We are joining an international movement to defend our freedoms because we believe that they are worth fighting for. The Declaration is simple: it offers five core principles that should guide any policy relating to the Internet.

We believe that an open Internet can bring about a better world. We’re calling on individuals, organizations, and political representatives around the world to recognize these principles. We believe that they will help to bring about more creativity, more innovation and more open societies.

Please join us in signing on to the Declaration of Internet Freedom >>>

Sign the Declaration of Internet Freedom by filling in your information below.

We support transparent and participatory processes for making Internet policy and the establishment of 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.

Let’s also discuss these principles — agree or disagree with them, debate them, translate them, make them your own and broaden the discussion with your community — as only the Internet can make possible. Join us in keeping the Internet open and affordable. [You can interact with the principles on reddit, Techdirt, Cheezburger, Github, and Rhizome.]
