=== Define Human Rights ===
=== Define Human Rights ===
Similar to the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights we should start with our own declaration of human rights first defining everyone as equal and entitled to the same fundamental rights.
We don't need to duplicate the UN declaration as it focuses on slavery, forced marriages, torture, law, persecution, torture, and issues more appropriate to what they do. We can recognize them by a reference statement including it as a whole within our declaration.
Instead we should focus on the online world relating to issues of freedom of expression, anonymity, online harassment, control of your personal data, the right not to me monitored, tracked individually, to keep one's files secret. Rights to privacy. To keep war off the Internet. Reasonable protections of intellectual property.
