Relevance to Theme: Data and information in a broad sense and personal data, in particular, become an invaluable commodity for the digital economy, the basis of technological progress and at the same time for manipulation of consciousness, disinformation, criminal manifestations in relation to the data itself. Users shall be entitled to manage their private space on the Internet on their own, without being subject to imposition of information and influence on their information field. A voluntary, clearly expressed, informed and unequivocal consent of the data subject shall be requested at any stage of data processing. Multistakeholder community's role should be active in creating legal and public filters to prevent any illegal, harmful and toxic information from entering the Internet, especially for unprotected children. They shall enhance the protection of children on the Internet, take legislative and other measures needed to counteract pornography, pedophilia and violence against children, and create alliances for this purpose.
Relevance to Internet Governance: Multistakeholder community should establish trustworthy data protection mechanisms at all levels. Especially unprotected groups, risk groups - young people and children. The quality and accuracy of information becomes a guarantee of trust to states and the world community as a whole. Transnational corporations, operators and other multistakeholder community representatives should be able to independently identify illegal content on the Internet and promptly remove it from all resources. Such measures and more proposals from speakers and participants are to be discussed at the workshop as the follow-up of the session on data governance within RIGF 0n * April in Moscow.
We will provide all online participants to equally participate by asking questions to our speakers and making proposals.
Proposed Additional Tools: Our session will be live broadcasted through the social media networks, as well as text-translated in our social media accounts.
