FA1 Post: Securing Fundamental Rights in the Digital Realm

[lksbrssr]

Summary

Inaugural focus-area post for Digital Human Rights (FA1) — third in the series after the PL R&D overview. Sets out the four layers of sovereign infrastructure and the inflection point within each opportunity space.

Structure:

• Intro on why digital infrastructure now carries fundamental rights, with the Web3 Summit 2019 figure
• The Framework — four layers of sovereign infrastructure
• Opportunity Spaces 1–4 — Censorship-Resistant Communication, Portable Identity, Verifiable Public Knowledge & Provenance, Sovereign Infrastructure for AI & Agents — each with What it is / Why it matters / Progress so far / Inflection point
• Building the field + Get involved

Notes

• 🚧 Draft / DO NOT MERGE — for review.
• Author defaults to lukas-bresser (matching the series). Swap to will-scott (DHR lead) if preferred.
• Source content from the attached focus-area drafts doc; image extracted from the doc (/images/blog/securing-fundamental-rights-in-the-digital-realm/web3-summit-2019.png).
• The "PL R&D Overview" mention is left as plain text (the overview post is itself still an open draft, FA0 Blog: How PL R&D accelerates computing breakthroughs #25).
