Liberdade na internet e Direitos Humanos

the Internet has transformed human rights movements states can no longer exercise control based on the notion of a monopoly over information we have also witnessed how courageous individuals strategically use the Internet to mobilize and support others in demanding their human rights I am concerned that websites continue to be blocked in many countries either permanently or through the use of just-in-time locking during specific periods of political significance so efficient save large must be put in place to ensure that no restriction on accessing online content is arbitrary or excessive we do not need new standards of human

rights the standards exist articles 19 and 20 are the ICCPR are very clear and all the other standards of human rights doctoring and human rights principles apply online after they do offline whether it be through oral word written word or art or any other form of expression it it can have the same basic principles as the word is moving online very fast big time then the freedoms and the human rights that we share in the offline world must be protected in the online world because if that doesn't happen what will happen is that as we

switch on to the world there's ways that we switch off the freedoms the challenges are mounting to keep that type of freedom available over all 40 countries censor the net in some form or fashion up from only for a decade ago and at Google what we're saying we operated about a hundred and fifty countries and in 25 of them our products are either banned blocked or in you know regulations imposed that really don't allow us to carry out that mission of making information accessible to all what is really important is that States don't opt for

cheap alternatives and I would say that restriction and is in effect a cheap alternative and not a sustainable one and the long-term you do need ruling law and good fair law enforcement internet has to be seen also as a necessary element for other rights access to information access to education to freedom of assembly and mobilization and peaceful mobilization or to development Oh
