No more paywalls, artificial obstructions, and planned obsolescence

• All protocols should be secure by design; back doors, however "well-meant", invalidate them and forbid their use in any shape or form



• The Internet should be divided into protocols, each of which excels at one single thing



• Pages should be treated as pages, not an as assembly of computer programs (tying them together on a canvas)



• Pages should be made accessible to all, including blind people



• Protocols and implementations should be Free (libre) software



• A protocol is admitted and accepted only if many parties implement and deploy instances of it



• Centralisation disqualifies oneself (e.g. one site monopolising a protocol)



• Monoculture disqualifies oneself (e.g. one application monopolising a protocol)



• Protocols and implementations must conform to a "least complex" attitude/principle; simplicity is to be favoured over supposed power, for the betterment and advancement of a true technical diversity



• Anonymous access (e.g. Tor or unlogged sessions) should be permitted; in some countries it's a matter of life or death



• DNS should be considered not mandatory; there's a broad range of alternatives to it and they should be actively encouraged



• Geo-blocking is not permitted; it facilitates racism, which has no room in society



• Parties that implement DRM should be shunned and led to failure, setting an example for anyone else wishing to follow their lead



• Participation in military (including spy agencies') programs subjects oneself to greater scrutiny, suspicion, and even prejudiced rejection



• File and transmission neutrality should be presumed benign and desirable; it's a violation of human rights to presume any user is a law-breaker



• Censorship, including bans, should be considered a "last resort" subject to very strict standards and regarded as a highly exceptional circumstance; there are ways to repel unwanted people/views without outright bans



• Copyright law should be dealt with as a potential barrier to preservation; when a last remaining copy online is no longer available online, it should be perfectly lawful for a party with an offline copy to upload it somewhere



• Throttling or traffic-shaping should be advisory only; people can be encouraged, not forced, to limit or change their usage/utility of the network; this should be done transparently, not covertly, and not by network operators with a financial stake in the outcome (or business partners with a stake)



• Any expansion of existing protocols should be done with diligence and care, taking into account compatibility with old devices, environmental factors, and a balance between advancement and this planet's natural limits



• Standards bodies dominated by large corporations (vendor capture) can be ignored and disregarded
