Today on Human Rights Day, we’re reminded that the struggle for human rights now extends into the digital world.
Protecting digital rights is part of protecting each other — and building a future where everyone can live, speak, and participate with freedom and dignity!
Digital rights are everyone’s business — including yours!
From mass surveillance that decimates our privacy to internet shutdowns that silence us, our human rights online are constantly under threat. This is why safeguarding digital rights isn’t optional — it’s essential for justice, democracy, and dignity in the digital age.
First… what are digital rights? Digital rights are the same human rights we all have — in digital spaces. They protect how we can express ourselves, access information, and safeguard our privacy in the digital age. They include: Freedom of expression Privacy and data protection Protest and online organizing If you use the internet and participate in our increasingly digital world, these rights are YOUR business.
Almost every aspect of our lives now depends on digital technology. Without digital rights, our basic freedoms collapse. When governments shut down the internet, communities lose their voice. When companies harvest our data, our privacy vanishes. When algorithms decide what we see, democracy is distorted. Protecting digital rights means defending our ability to speak, connect, and participate freely in our societies.
Digital rights are everyone’s business — including yours.
From surveillance to shutdowns, our human rights online are under attack every day.
