We acknowledge that today, computers, networks and online services have socially complex implications. The days where personal computing only happened on personal computers are long gone (if they ever really existed). This isn't an excuse for accepting that our rights and freedom be violated. It behooves us to demand freedom on the Internet and to refuse feudalism.

This is why we want to improve the User Data Manifesto to define the basic rights all users of Internet and Web services ought to have.
