[Manila Principles] CIGI ourinternet report cites the Manila Principles on Intermediary Liability

[Jeremy Malcolm]

" Civil society and human rights activists have begun to propose the
adoption of principles on intermediary liability, to promote freedom of
expression and enable innovation. The Manila Principles on Intermediary
Liability outline a number of legal principles that the Commission fully
supports, including: shielding intermediaries from liability for
third-party content; the requirement of judicial authority for content
takedowns; necessity and proportionality; clarity and due process; and
transparency and accountability.

The Commission also believes that actors in the digital ecosystem —
whether technology companies or intermediaries such as content hosts or
ISPs — should not be required to perform the functions of law
enforcement, except as required by appropriate judicial order."
