-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 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?
