To say that the Philippine Internet has changed over the past decade is an understatement. The Internet has opened up various opportunities for Filipinos to communicate and learn. But the past few years have been challenging with how hate and prejudice ran rampant online, rendering the Internet a perilous place for many.
With the many changes the Philippine Internet has gone through, it is only time for FMA to revisit the first Philippine Declaration on Internet Rights and Principles, which was published in 2015, and assess the Philippine Internet anew.
First launched during the Digital Rights Conference last March, the 2024 Philippine Declaration on Internet Rights and Principles looks into the ground-breaking “developments that impact Philippine democracy and digital rights,” such the emergence of artificial intelligence and digital economy; the pervasiveness of tech platforms; worsening disinformation; and climate realities.
In the spirit of openness and collaboration, FMA is welcoming any remarks, comments, and suggestions to the initial draft of the 2024 Declaration shown below.
