Nach den Skandalen um Facebook und Cambridge Analytica ist die Debatte um eine Digital-Charta 2018 auch in den USA angekommen. Nachdem bereits der “Erfinder” des WWW, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, eine vorausschauende Regulierung des Netzes gefordert hat, hat der US-Abgeordnete Ro Khanna (er repräsentiert durch seinen Wahlkreis in Kalifornieren quasi das Silicon Valley für die Demokraten im US-Kongress) eine “Internet Bill of Rights” gefordert, die auf 10 Prinzipien aufbaut. Die NY-Times berichtet darüber ausführlich am 4. Oktober 2018. Die von Khanna vorgeschlagenen Prinzipien werden auch von Tim Berners-Lee unterstützt. Sie lauten im Originaltext:
You should have the right:
(1) to have access to and knowledge of all collection and uses of personal data by companies;
(2) to opt-in consent to the collection of personal data by any party and to the sharing of personal data with a third party;
(3) where context appropriate and with a fair process, to obtain, correct or delete personal data controlled by any company and to have those requests honored by third parties;
(4) to have personal data secured and to be notified in a timely manner when a security breach or unauthorized access of personal data is discovered;
(5) to move all personal data from one network to the next;
(6) to access and use the internet without internet service providers blocking, throttling, engaging in paid prioritization or otherwise unfairly favoring content, applications, services or devices;
(7) to internet service without the collection of data that is unnecessary for providing the requested service absent opt-in consent;
(8) to have access to multiple viable, affordable internet platforms, services and providers with clear and transparent pricing;
(9) not to be unfairly discriminated against or exploited based on your personal data; and
(10) to have an entity that collects your personal data have reasonable business practices and accountability to protect your privacy.
