Digital Rights and Responsibilities

Overview of the UAP policy


My AUP for the IIE is included in my POE as annexure.

This document is included in the form of a presentation, annexure U. AUP for the IIE.
I downloaded a template from www.first.org.
You can access the current IIE full AUP policy by using the following link: https://iie-ugrad-institution.applywithus.com/legal/acceptable_use_policy .

Guideline of Rights and Responsibilities


Rights


These digital rights are defined in terms of The Digital Bill of Rights as listed on http://keepthewebopen.com/digital-bill-of-rights, created by Congressman Darrell Issa.
I quoted all the rights directly and do not claim these rights as my own work, as they are not.

  • Openness - digital citizens have a right to an open, unobstructed internet
  • Equality - all digital citizens are created equal on the internet
  • Participation - digital citizens have a right to peaceably participate where and how they choose on the internet
  • Creativity - digital citizens have a right to create, grow and collaborate on the internet, and be held accountable for what they create
  • Sharing - digital citizens have a right to freely share their ideas, lawful discoveries and opinions on the internet
  • Accessibility - digital citizens have a right to access the internet equally, regardless of who they are or where they are
  • Association - digital citizens have a right to freely associate on the internet
  • Privacy - digital citizens have a right to privacy on the internet
