Listening to an Internet Archive podcast and the last episode informed me of this initiative for libraries and memory institutions to endorse this set of four rights as policy guidelines: https://ourfuturememory.org/#rights

It bugs me to see "controlled" access in the phrasing, as I tend to look for words I fear can be used to justify more finance-capitalist exploitation (e.g., DRM), but I hope for the best, as much as I can.

Lights are going out across the Net for UK users.

Age verification is driving sites to shut down, geo-block the UK or restrict features and content.

In trying to tackle to worst of the Net, it's harming the best.
