Dear Viktor,
I am not really convinced bu the argument that the Internet has (or
should have) the same status as a night club. If any part of the
Internet would simply drop packets because of the wrong header, we
would simply route around it.
Am also not sure if this is a sufficient mapping of human rights
online, it seems that most things are described in relation to hate
speech, whereas the is more to say, non-discrimination then what is
described here, no? Take for instance algorithmic decision making.
Also missed a discussion on Intermediary Liability in the document,
does is align with the Manila Principles?
Best,
Niels
