Il est temps d’agir pour la justice numérique
Summary
The Global Forum for Digital Justice argues that the internet has transitioned from a space of creativity to a tool for surveillance and oppression, driven by the profit-seeking motives of Silicon Valley companies and US foreign policy. The statement highlights that 2.5 billion people remain digitally excluded, exacerbating global inequalities. It calls for a 'new global digital constitutionalism' to replace corporate greed and state control with digital commons and policies that limit monopolies and protect ecological justice.
