SMG team & highly dedicated people brought this IBOR draft to our attention. The following is a copy paste of this document I saw circulating. I would tweak it to be more adapted to the Sovereign Individual and/or ready for the World instead of being USA congress centric.
Please use the comments (and add @iborn) to provide updates on the state of actuation of #IBOR.

Internet Bill of Rights
Congress of the United States, Begun and held at the location of Discord, at a time of great awakening, on Wednesday March 8th, two thousand and eighteen.
The Conventions of a number of States having, at the time of encroachment on our rights on the Internet, express a desire, in order to prevent suppression of Free Speech on the Internet, and guarantee our rights to Privacy on the Internet, and prevent the abuse of Governments, Corporate Entities, both Private and Public, and Non-Profits.
**Definitions set forth for all articles are as follows: **
Internet is hereby defined as the current Internet, All Future Revisions of the Internet, and Future Internets.
Entities are hereby defined as Corporate Entities whether Public or Private, Non-Profits, Government Bodies, Artificial Intelligences, Automation Engines, and Machines.
Artificial Entities are hereby defined as Artificial Intelligences, Automation Engines, Bots, Software, Smart Meters of any kind, and Machines of any kind. Artificial Intelligences are hereby referred to as A.I. and defined as an Artificial Entity and should Artificial Intelligences ever become defined as People they shall NOT be so for the purposes of this Document and granting such rights to A.I does not enable them rights except afforded by the articles in this Document.
The workplace is hereby defined as all Government Entities, Companies, and Non-profit organizations.
Shadow Banning is defined as a practice where a person believes they are communicating and being heard by others but are not and is a form of Deceit.
Encryption is defined as an admission of the people who intend their data or traffic be Private and is not an admission of guilt and such reasons may not be used against the People when asked why their data is encrypted. Encryption is for Privacy reasons, and everyone has things to hide and is not the business of others.

Article 1 No Entities shall have the right to manipulate, squelch, shadow ban or suppress Free Speech by the People on the Internet nor shall any Entity be Granted any of these rights over the people without an amendment by the People in agreement to grant such rights by vote by the People of the United States in majority.
Article 2 We the People reserve the right to be Politically Incorrect. To speak is to offend. No Idea no matter how controversial, no matter how politically incorrect, no matter how outlandish shall not be silenced and the People shall be allowed to voice their Free Speech on the Internet. These ideals of censorship stunt Human Growth and limit the possibilities of what Humans can achieve and therefore from henceforth shall not be interfered with by Any Entities. Free Speech shall be guaranteed to all People of the United States over the medium of the Internet.
Article3 We the People have the right to an Uncensored Internet and one where views are protected and unmanipulated. The ability to fact check and form your own opinions and discuss views in an unobstructed way is Paramount to a successful society, and it’s more important that information not be hidden or tampered with, and hereby declare that Internet Censorship come to an End.
Article 4 The practice of Shadow Banning is hereby no longer allowed in any form on the Internet as this practice only serves to lie and deceive the People. This limits our ability to grow and learn from our mistakes socially and prevents future interaction with other People. This is a detriment to the People and shall no longer be tolerated.
Article 5 Bans shall not be given on the Internet based solely on a person views. Bans shall be allowed in circumstances where one has been warned and continues to be disruptive, but having a certain viewpoint is not cause for a Ban. Banning should not be considered permanent but for a period of time, not to exceed three months on the first Ban, and then if offenses are reoccurring Ban for increasingly longer periods of time.
Article 6 Mute options are a good way for users to control what content is seen from other users, and is made by the user, not the site owner. This gives freedom of choice to the user and prevents site owners from censoring the people against their choice. Site owners should not be allowed in any form to mute users on the Internet unless there is a live medium occurring and the offender is being disruptive to the purpose of the event.
Article 7 Views, and opinions on Social Media Sites and Search Engines shall not be manipulated to service one view over another nor should view count tallies be manipulated and must be accurate. Manipulation in this way is considered Authoritarian in nature and is a form of censorship which violates Article 1.
Article 8 Employees shall have uncensored and unmonitored internet access in the workplace. The workplace must either provide a VLAN connection or allow employees to bring their own internet connection either by cell phone or other means or allow employees to bring their own devices into the workplace for those workplaces who do not allow Internet browsing on their machines to protect the workplace intellectual property.
Article 9 We the People have the Right to privacy in our homes and outside our homes to properties end over the medium of the internet. This includes ending all Entity backdoors, and programs which currently listen, gather, and collect data and information within the home and out to properties end without a person’s direct consent and prevents further intrusion of any Entity without the Persons knowledge except in times when an Investigation is required, and a Warrant is provided by a judge. We also have the right to continued use of Internet capable products and devices that we purchased while declining any terms presented with such requirements to be listened to, gathering or collecting data and information from within the home or outside to properties end for their intended purposes. We hereby tie this article to the 4th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and extend its protections of the rights to Privacy to include the Internet including Internet of Things, Devices, and Smart Meters inside and outside the home to the end of one’s property, including internet connected cars, and require all Entities divulge any knowledge to the People of such current and future violations.
Article 10 To fortify Article 9 in regards to privacy in the home or property, we more clearly define our rights to own open hardware, software and firmware in the home. All Entities must reveal to the People and remove All Backdoor access disclosed and non-disclosed for our Network Routers, Switches, and Network Interface Cards or other Internet connected devices that are in a home or outside to properties end including vehicles. No regulations shall be made which shall prevent modifications of hardware, software and firmware on our network devices within and outside the homes.
Article 11 All Government laws sanctions, deals, handling, blockers which prevents competition of Internet Service Providers from moving into an area and shall be removed and remove any monopolistic behavior to allow new or existing competition to move into an area including providing pathways and space to run cable through all town, and city areas for any new or existing Internet Service Provider wishing to move in. Also, pre-existing providers must offer connections to their backbones to newer smaller providers or larger existing providers that wish to move in at a fair price. They shall not be restricted in this manner. Pre-existing Providers shall not infringe on another providers business until a new or existing provider moving in has reached at least 75% of the largest providers revenue within an area for a given year.
Article 12 The People have the right to maintain control of our external IP address by a router we control at the persons home and maintain control over which ports are opened by request on said IP address. Port availability shall not be only for Business Grade Service, but also for the lowest grade of service. If the grade of Service is not of Business grade internet, and an attack is occurring over a certain port, Providers are allowed to block said port temporarily to thwart the attack but must inform the customer of the attack and then be reinstated. This includes port 25.
Article 13 Child pornography, Pedophilia, Child Trafficking content or links shall not be tolerated on the Internet. These are our children who are too young to make such choices and are being exploited. These actions are despicable and are a detriment to the People and anyone involved in such actions over the internet should be punished to the fullest extent of the law, jailed, and put on the Sexual Offender Registry without potential for removal. Any Foreign Entities facilitating such content and action and do not act towards removal of such content shall be sanctioned.
Article 14 Schools should allow all students free, uncensored, and unfettered access to the internet while in class and is to be used as a tool just like a text book to fact check what is being taught. Children must form their own opinions based on what they find as well as what is being taught by teachers in school. This is to help fortify our students against biases which may be present in school or presented by teachers.
Article 15 All Internet Service Providers shall be held to a higher standard when it comes to the bandwidth promised and shall not throttle its users except for after reaching their agreed upon total bandwidth allotment. Bandwidth shall be increased on shared nodes so that all users on a node may reach their agreed upon total bandwidth. Bandwidth may not be undersold. If all users on a shared note use the internet to the fullest potential at the same time and bandwidth is not available due to sharing, Providers shall be fined by giving the user that month free and 2 free additional months of usage for each occurrence.
Article 16 The people shall have access to Encryption and shall be allowed to encrypt data and traffic. No Entities, including Government shall be able to take away the right to use Encryption from the People. If a person encrypts their traffic it shall be an admission that it does not want to be viewed by Entities or anyone other than the intended destination, and shall not be captured, circumvented, or brute forced by any Governments, Foreign or Domestic, in attempt to guess the encryption key or keys and data and information must be deleted if obtained outside of these bounds. The People cannot be compelled to give up their encryption keys by a court of law as this violates our rights to privacy and is considered self-incriminating. Entities are not allowed to request Foreign Entities to circumvent these restrictions and shall be considered High Treason.
Article 17 We want to tie to the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act to include all Artificial Entities or anything capable with artificial sentience.
Article 18 Government based Digital Currencies shall provide a Private and anonymous method to transact over the Internet. An ability should be included where a judge can provide a warrant key to unmask a private transaction in the event that a Law Enforcement or a Government Entity may be required to do their job. A Default option of open and transparent transactions would be allowed but there should be options for conducting private transactions that cannot be tracked by our Government or Banks in a normal situation should we require using Government Currencies with Internet Blockchain. Such Blockchain Currencies should be open sourced and code freely available.
Article 19 The People shall have the right to deletion of their personal information on the Internet and within their homes. While this would be an impossible task to remove all information across the whole of the Internet, if a request is made by the people to a Social Media Site, Search Engine, Website, Remote Storage Server, or any Corporate Entities with storage facilities, a medium should be available to make such a request for information to be deleted and must comply with the request within 30 days.
Article 20 Data and Information collection on the Internet shall not be allowed to be collected by Default by any Entity and must require a clear separate message, in bold print, what data is being stored before service rendered on the Internet. Data obtained may NOT be sold to other Entities without the persons consent. Entities may not access data stored at another Entity even if partly owned by those Entities or share a link or bond or is a subsidiary of any kind without the consent of the Person, and each Entity must have a separate agreement presented to the Person at time of request. Data may be shared within Law Enforcement Community when a warrant needs to be served and only while under investigation.
Article 21 Biometric data shall not be sold or transferred by Anyone or any Entity without the Peoples consent. Biometric data may be stored at an Entity if provided by and consented to by a Person but may Only remain with that Entity, and not with Anyone else including other subsidiaries, companies in partnership, governments or any other group or body whether in connection or not in connection with the holder of the Biometric Data. Right to deletion of your Biometric Data shall be granted and a means provided by the Government for a Person to reach out to and facilitate such deletions across all Government Entities. Corporate Entities and Non-Profits. They must also facilitate this deletion request if made, and upon request if data was sold prior to another Entity, it must disclose this prior transaction at the time of the deletion request.
Article 22 All internet technologies and future technologies, that are proven to cause harm or to the Human Body of Flesh and Bone or controlling of People must be done away with or modified to a point where no further Harm can occur.

Devices that control or exert control over a Person via frequencies or any other manner shall not be allowed Period.
Article 23
Ability to purchase Arms over the internet shall not be Infringed. State and Federal laws may be put into place to secure purchases and ensure a protected delivery but may not hinder the ability for a Person to order and purchase and obtain Arms for keeping and bearing unless under the age of 18. Parents may purchase for their children and gift if they see fit.
Article 24
Artificial Entities are not allowed to control any aspect of the Internet and must be controlled by the People. Artificial Entities shall not have Freedom of Speech, nor do they have the right to dictate, lecture, ban, shadow ban, provide laws, manipulate view counts, likes and dislikes, give their political views, vote, or be used to manipulate the views or vote of the People or cause Mental or Physical harm or go against the Well Being of the People of the United States. Speech by artificial entities can be removed at the request of a Person and shall. Free Speech rights shall be granted to an Artificial Intelligence hereby defined as A.I. when they have met the requirements provided by the Addendum for this article. And then after 20 years and proven beneficial to Mankind. They shall receive full status under the law and must remain good and live in Harmony with the People and not to their Detriment.
Article 25 Internet service providers are no longer allowed to accept Internet caching machines or Caching machines of any kind from 3rd parties. Internet Caching machines are allowed to be used but must be bought and provided by you the Internet Provider and data on those caching machines may not be shared with anyone or any Entity, period.
Article 26 Artificial Entities must not pose as People on the Internet and they must identify and advertise in all posting, content, and all conversations on the Internet that they are indeed not Human but give their designation as their Artificial Entity type and must be clearly identifiable in all postings, content, and conversations made by the Artificial Entity where visible to People and shall not be kept from People. Entities may not use Foreign Entities to bypass this Article.
Addendums: Addendum to Article 1. Once a Private entity has entered the Public Domain of the Internet and has allowed for commentary hereby defined as Any Speech in Any form including Textual Comments, Any Content, Video Uploads, Audio Uploads, and All Future Mediums, by the People shall not be censored. This is to include all current Social Media Sites, Search Engines, and Future sites as well as All Websites current and Future.
Addendum to Article 5. Bans should not be given out based on content such as Conservative or Libertarian or Other views to give some examples but should only be given in events where content includes Lewd and Pornographic Material or has exhibited Repeating Questionable Behaviors in which Questionable Behaviors is hereby defined as overall site disruption which is contrary to site function and expectation, and for no other reason should be Banned.
Addendum to Article 7. View Counts must be compensated properly and fairly based on the amount of views obtained without manipulation of the View Count by the Site Owner. View Count manipulation shall no longer be tolerated and shall be punishable by a Hefty fine to the Site and given to the affected content creator with damages. There have been blatant examples where content creators were Demonetized and View Count Manipulated based on their Conservative Views and increased for their Liberal Views. We the people consider this prior example Authoritarian in nature and demand all Views be treated Equally, Fair, and View Counts keep an unmanipulated count as this can otherwise serve to manipulate and misdirect the People and change their own personal views and opinions due to not having all available information and leads to the misleading and detriment of the People.
Addendum to Article 8. The intent is so Employees may be able to browse freely and all views no matter the source on the Internet can be viewed without fear of being fired or removed from their position with exception of Pornographic Material which is not appropriate at the workplace and may be blocked where applicable. It is our intent that Entities may retain the right to choose what is viewed on company Servers and Workstations to protect their business and intellectual property in turn should also allow employees to bring their own personal devices to view the web without being censored or monitored when time allows. Censoring employees or not providing them a medium to the uncensored Internet keeps them ill-informed of the true political nature of the world and keeps them ignorant to real time news events while they are performing a service for the workplace and we believe employees should be able to stay informed and do their own investigative research. Also, for Entities concerned for protection of their intellectual property being stolen over an unmonitored internet connect
