Digital Empowerment in Practice
From the MyData Declaration to MyTerms.
Every day, individuals around the world generate vast amounts of personal data, yet they rarely have the power to benefit from it or control how it is used. In Episode Six of Digital Rules, Human Values, the MyData Declaration challenges this status quo by advocating for infrastructure, rules, and platforms that empower people to access, understand, manage, and share their data on their own terms.
In this webinar, the MyData community and the Global Initiative for Digital Empowerment will explore how these principles are being put into practice. The session will introduce opportunities to engage with MyData’s thematic groups and activities, and will highlight efforts to implement the MyTerms Standard (IEEE 7012), which enables individuals to set their own terms for data sharing in online interactions.
Speakers
• Paul Twomey, Co-Chair, Global Initiative for Digital Empowerment; former CEO of ICANN
• Christopher Wilson, CEO, MyData Global
