Digital freedom is the right to live your life as you see fit in digital spaces. As with all rights and freedoms, this is a complex and contentious topic. This is due to the fact that one person's freedom may impact another person's rights and vice versa. As such, rights and freedoms typically have some limit designed to strike some balance between competing ethical and practical concerns. The following are common examples of digital rights and freedoms.
Right to internet access | Freedom of speech | Freedom of association | Freedom of assembly | Freedom of expression | Freedom of religion | Freedom of movement in digital spaces | Right to anonymity | Privacy rights | Defamation protection | Freedom from online harassment | Freedom of information | Pursuit of knowledge, information and research | Pursuit of happiness | Pursuit of opportunity | Net neutrality | Freedom from discrimination | Freedom from oppression | Freedom from censorship | Right to safety & security | Right to encryption | Right to political participation | Right to data liberation | Right to disconnect | Right to be forgotten | Digital property rights | Freedom from unreasonable search and seizure | Freedom from surveillance | Children’s rights and protection online | Children’s privacy rights |
