European Digital Rights’ Post

Every day in our work, European Digital Rights challenges private and state actors who abuse their power to control or manipulate the public. Today, as #technology has weaved itself into the fabric of our lives and our societies, our mission has never been more relevant We want to build positive digital futures that centre people, the planet, and #democracy - we've put forward a manifesto that establishes our vision 🌿 ✊🏾 We demand approaches to regulating technology that are interwoven with #RuleOfLaw, #justice, the pillar of #SocialRights, and #sustainability matters.

In a world where technology is advancing faster than our ability to regulate and understand it, we have the opportunity to reinvent democratic processes and drive meaningful change. Let’s take this as a powerful reminder that blending technology with governance, and innovation can unlock new possibilities and transform our future to make democracy more transparent, resilient, and participatory. This is the hacker-turned-politician who’s leading the charge https://lnkd.in/g-J-Udix

If we want to realize a “digital democracy,” we must reimagine how technology is used and invest in building new tools to meet the challenges of public trust and participation. In E. Glen Weyl and Audrey Tang's new book, they argue “technology and democracy can be each other’s greatest allies.”

🌐 Last week, the Office of the UN Secretary-General’s Envoy on Technology, in collaboration with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, hosted an enlightening briefing on digital technologies and human rights. High Commissioner Volker Türk shared important perspectives on incorporating human rights principles into digital development. 🙏 Many thanks to Volker Türk for his valuable insights. Special appreciation also goes to co-facilitators Anna-Karin Eneström and Chola Milambo, for steering a thoughtful and engaging dialogue. 🛡️ The event underscored the role that digital technologies can play in both supporting and challenging human rights protections, deepening understanding of these pivotal issues. #DigitalCooperation
