Digital rights
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Digital freedom)
The term Digital Rights is indicative of the freedom of individuals to perform actions involving the use of a computer, any electronic device, or a communications network. The term is particularly related to the protection and realisation of existing rights, such as the right to privacy or freedom of expression, in the context of new digital technologies, especially the internet.[1]
In 2005, the United Kingdom's Open Rights Group published a mind-map diagram documenting the range of organizations and people active in the cause of preserving digital rights. The diagram related groups, individuals, and websites to interest areas.
