This page is for discussing the content of the paragraph 4: Strengthening Privacy Protection

Go to Newropeans' initial working paper: FrontPage 

The EU should strengthen privacy protections for the digital age and harness the power of technology to hold government and business accountable for violations of personal privacy. We are concerned about the fact that the improper use of technologies to protect copyright holders could be detrimental to the protection of personal data of individuals. At the same time we would work to ensure that the principle of registered identity of individuals and companies accessing the net would be accepted in the EU legislation.

Newropeans consider privacy as a key component of the equality society. We intend to emphasize the relevance of the right to the protection of personal data in the digital environment; privacy, in fact, is today a pre-requisite to be part of the democratic processes and an essential tool to allow citizens to act autonomously.
