The Contract for the Web: Creating Opportunity For Everyone 

Extract :

·         Today [ 05 Nov 2018 ], at the Web Summit, Tim and Web Foundation CEO Adrian Lovett launched the Contract for the Web, an initiative to ensure governments, companies and citizens around the world help protect the open web as a public good and a basic right for everyone

Principles for a Contract for the Web

 

By committing to the following principles, governments, companies and citizens around the world can help protect the open web as a public good and a basic right for everyone

 

The Contract Principles are :

 

Governments will

·         Ensure everyone can connect to the internet
So that anyone, no matter who they are or where they live, can participate actively online.

·         Keep all of the internet available, all of the time
So that no one is denied their right to full internet access.

·         Respect people’s fundamental right to privacy
So everyone can use the internet freely, safely and without fear.

Companies will

·         Make the internet affordable and accessible to everyone
So that no one is excluded from using and shaping the web.

·         Respect consumers’ privacy and personal data
So people are in control of their lives online.

·         Develop technologies that support the best in humanity and challenge the worst
So the web really is a public good that puts people first

Citizens will

·         Be creators and collaborators on the web
So the web has rich and relevant content for everyone.

·         Build strong communities that respect civil discourse and human dignity
So that everyone feels safe and welcome online.

·         Fight for the web
So the web remains open and a global public resource for people everywhere, now and in the future.

Web founder wants contract to rebuild trust on internet

Tim Berners-Lee has just launched Inrupt, a start-up which is building an open-source platform called “Solid” which will de-centralize the web and allow users to choose where their data is kept, along with who can see and access it.

He called on companies and governments to find NEW WAYS to monetize, regulate and ensure fair and affordable access to the online world

Is it possible for individual net users to :

·         Control  “ WHO “ can see / access “ WHAT “ of their “ PERSONAL “ data ?

·         Monetize such access / use of their personal data by commercial entities ?

Yes !

What I have conceptualized  below  can be “ globalized “ :

Only way to protect our ONE BILLION citizens ( from misuse of personal data ) is :

#   Terminate the legal validity of those 100 BILLION “ individual contracts “ [ 1 billion

     persons x 100 web sites , vide :  “ I accept TERMS & CONDITIONS “ clicks on sites ]

#   On behalf of these 1 Billion Indian citizens , government ( Data Protection Regulator

       DPR ) to enter into consolidated contracts with those 100 web sites

#   Web sites not willing to sign such agreement / contract with DPR , must be asked to

     QUIT INDIA ( - if China can do this , why can’t we ? )
