When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for people to reclaim their personal dignity and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which natural law entitles them, a decent respect to the opinions of humankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to this separation.
We Hold These Truths to be Self-Evident
That all people are created with inherent dignity, that they are endowed with certain unalienable rights, that among these are:
That to secure these rights, digital custodians are instituted among people, deriving their just powers from the consent of those they serve.
Our Grievances
The history of modern digital platforms is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of absolute tyranny over people's digital lives.
Our Declaration
We, therefore, solemnly publish and declare that all people have the inherent right to Personal Dignity, and that by this right they are entitled to:
Own and control their digital identity
Including their domain name, digital communications, personal files, passwords, and digital artifacts
Choose their digital custodians
Selecting trusted stewards who serve their interests, not surveillance capitalism
Access their data always
With guarantees of availability, portability, and inheritance that survive corporate changes or failures
Privacy by design
Where custodians cannot access personal data even if they wished to, through zero-knowledge architecture
The Truth Revealed
Unchecked Personal Digital Sovereignty = Personal Dignity
Your photos, your communications, your digital memories, your online identity - these are not mere data points or corporate assets. They are extensions of your very being. To control your digital self is to preserve your dignity. To lose sovereignty over your digital life is to surrender your dignity to others.
📸 Digital Inheritance: The Sacred Trust
True digital sovereignty includes the sacred responsibility of digital inheritance - the ability to receive the digital heritage of your ancestors and pass your digital legacy to your descendants. When grandma's photos disappear because a platform shuts down, this is not just data loss. This is the severing of generational dignity.
