Privacy, Human Rights, and Web 3.0

Technology and our networked environment has made privacy an increasingly challenging state to achieve but in order to ensure we continue to meet the foundational standard for human rights, it is essential that privacy is elevated as a priority global discussion. We must continually review whether technology and network deliverables are meeting a privacy standard in a format accessible to all. In this paper we review whether Web 2.0 has met the required standard and if not, what impact this has had on society. From this we ask what we need to address in Web 3.0 to ensure those inadequacies do not proliferate into Web 3.0 developments. Finally, this paper offers five human rights centric privacy design principles for future development.
