– Thus, we confirm that we are together with countries that want an open, free and safe internet for everyone. This is what Minister Sigbjørn Gjelsvik says.
Initiative "Declaration for the Future of the Internet" was signed by the US earlier this year. To date, more than 60 countries have signed up to the declaration, including Sweden, Denmark, Finland and the United Kingdom.
The declaration describes the challenges posed by states that increasingly use digital platforms and tools to oppress citizens, undermine human and other fundamental rights.
– In recent years, we have witnessed digitization at great speed. It offers huge opportunities, but it also creates challenges. In today's security policy situation, we unfortunately see that the desire for an open, free and secure internet is sometimes under pressure, says Gjelsvik.
A vision of an open, free and secure internet
The goal of the declaration is to rally as many countries as possible around the vision of an open, free and secure internet. An Internet that supports democratic governance, empowers citizens to influence, ensures privacy, and takes greater action against cyber threats. It also contributes to an open and competitive world economy.
– For Norway, it is important that the online administration continues to be based on a model in which all relevant actors - such as authorities, public and private companies, academia, civil society and others - can participate. Norway has a long tradition in this, says Gjelsvik.
This declaration is the beginning of further discussion
The declaration is intended to be the beginning of further discussion. It is intended to help foster cooperation between support actors, civil society, industry and other relevant stakeholders.
