Internet governance decisions should be made in a transparent manner with genuine multistakeholder participation from civil society, governments, and the private sector. We call on the ITU and its member states to embrace transparency and reject any proposals that might expand ITU authority to areas of Internet governance that threaten the exercise of human rights online.
Preamble text:
Several repressive governments have put forward proposals at the ITU, a body with the United Nations, that threaten to impose widespread Internet surveillance and censorship. Please join organizations and people around the world in speaking out to national officials by signing the Protect Global Internet Freedom statement now.
