Everyone must be able to trust that public values such as security, privacy and non-discrimination are safeguarded in the digital world.
This safeguarding is not yet a given. We see unsafe situations, such as phishing, botnets and cybercrime. We also see situations where the rights of vulnerable groups (e.g., children) are in jeopardy; an example is digital applications that entice people to stay online as long as possible or to make impulse purchases. We also see that technologies can be discriminatory.
To ensure that everyone can trust in the digital world, the Work Agenda focuses on:
2.1 Safeguarding Public Values
2.2 Reduce the Influence of Online Disinformation
Reducing the influence of online disinformation and strengthening public debate so that everyone can make choices based on reliable information.
2.3 Privacy, Responsible Data Use and Transparency Regarding Data Processing and Exchange
Privacy and data protection because proportionate and lawful data processing is an important prerequisite for trust in government.
2.4 Prepare for New Technology
Increasing the understanding of the impact of new digital technologies so that citizens understand applications and can use them with confidence.
2.5 Improve Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity to work toward a digitally secure and resilient society and government.
2.6 Implementation of National and EU Regulations, Compliance and Monitoring
The implementation of national and EU regulations by business and government, compliance and monitoring.
