From this abstract: "With
around 2.3 billion users, the Internet has become part
of the daily lives of a significant percentage of the global population,
including for political debate and activism. While states are responsible for
protecting human rights online under international law, companies responsible
for Internet
infrastructure, products and services can play an important supporting role.
Companies also have a legal and corporate social responsibility to support
legitimate law enforcement agency actions to reduce online criminal activity
such as fraud, child exploitation and terrorism. They sometimes face ethical
and moral dilemmas when such actions may facilitate violations of human rights.
In this report we suggest practical measures that governments, corporations and other stakeholders can take to protect freedom of expression, privacy, and related rights in globally networked digital technologies. These are built on a detailed analysis of international law (particularly the ICCPR), three workshops in London, Washington DC and Delhi, and extensive interviews with government, civil society and corporate actors."
