Freedom of Association on the Internet
draft-tenoever-hrpc-association-00
Abstract
This documents aims to document the relation between Internet
protocols and the right to freedom of assembly and association. The
Internet increasingly mediates our lives and thus the ability to
excercise human rights. Since Internet protocols play a central role
in the management, development and use of the Internet the relation
between the two should be documented and adverse impacts on this
human right should be mitigated. On the other hand there have also
been methods of protest, a form of freedom of assembly, on the
Internet that have been harmful to Internet connectivity and the
Internet infrastructure, such as DDoS attacks. This document aims to
document forms of protest, association and assembly that do not have
a negative impact on the Internet infrastructure.
