9.3: Freedom of Expression

Encourage freedom of expression in the digital world.

Other Information:

Countries and private companies should encourage freedom of expression in the digital world. Censorship or blocking sites discourages the free flow of data, goods, and services across counties. If public or private sector organizations make requests to remove Internet content or censor usage, Internet service providers should publicize this situation by listing such requests on their websites. This will let consumers know about these types of requests and hopefully deter authorities from engaging in this kind of behavior.
