Draft a Digital Magna Carta protecting citizens' online rights and freedoms
Digital technology shapes learning, work, and democracy, yet law hasn’t kept pace. A Digital Magna Carta would set clear rights to privacy, data ownership, freedom of expression, digital access, and protection from harm, developed via full public consultation at local, regional and national levels.
Rapid technological change has outpaced democratic oversight, leaving citizens exposed to unaccountable systems and data misuse. A Digital Magna Carta would restore trust, transparency, and fairness online, ensuring technology serves people, not power. It’s time to renew democratic values for the digital age through open, inclusive public engagement, and to legislate against political parties using citizen digital data to further their political goals and spread misinformation.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. There are already laws that protect personal rights around privacy, data ownership, freedom of expression, digital access, and protection from harm including the Human Rights Act, the Online Safety Act and the Data Protection Act.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what legal changes you would like the Government to make regarding these policy areas.
