Europeans express strong support for proposed digital rights and principles

The Commission has published the results of the public consultation on a set of digital principles. The results show broad support for the proposed EU values in the digital space. These principles range from high-speed internet for all, full access to digital skills and education, making sure that children and young people are protected online, to an open, secure and trusted online environment.

The responses show support for defining principles based on European values, such as plurality, inclusivity, non-discrimination, openness, privacy, democracy, and sustainability.
