We believe these rights to be self-evident in all worlds digital and physical:
- A person has a naturally imbued right to have ownership over their information
- A person has a naturally imbued right to connect to others unencumbered
- A developer has a duty to make Ethical Software (ES) that is supportive and affirming of its users
- A user has a duty to support their equitable share of development of the ES that they employ
- ES's end is functionality and not the massive enrichment of the creator(s)
- ES is not be self-referential as part of its functionality (eyeball gravity)
- ES strictly enhances human connections
- Users have the right to be notified of and opt-in to any behavior modification
- An Ethical coder has a servant's heart
- Ethical coding should be transparent in its goals
- Ideal ES does not adopt traditional for-profit economic structure
- Users should take an active/constructive role in the improvement of functionality of ES
