Establish a 25% data dividend refund for mobile users worldwide
The Issue
To:
* United Nations (UN) Digital and Economic Policy Divisions
* International Telecommunication Union (ITU)
* Global Consumer Rights Organizations (Consumers International)
* Telecommunications and Digital Regulatory Authorities Worldwide
Subject: Petition for a Global "Data Dividend" to Protect Ordinary Citizens from Economic Exploitation in the Digital Age.
We, the undersigned citizens of the world, submit this urgent petition to address a profound and growing economic injustice in our modern digital society:
1. The Reality of Digital Exploitation:
Every single day, billions of ordinary people across the globe work hard to earn their living, spending their hard-earned money to purchase mobile and internet data. We use this data to navigate the digital world, connect with loved ones, and access essential services.
2. The Corporate Monopoly and Unfair Wealth Gap:
While ordinary users fuel the internet with their daily presence and consumption, multi-national tech giants, social media platforms, and telecommunication corporations generate trillions of dollars in sheer profit using our data, attention, and digital footprints. Yet, the everyday people who power this multi-trillion-dollar digital economy receive zero financial return or safety net.
3. Our Clear Demand – Only 25% Data Dividend from 100% Value:
We believe that data is an extension of human effort and modern survival. Therefore, we urgently demand the establishment of a fair and sustainable Global Data Dividend System.
* We are not asking for an unreasonable share. Out of the 100% total value and wealth generated from our data and service usage, corporations and telecom providers should return only 25% back to the pockets of the everyday consumers who create that value. They can keep the remaining 75%.
* This fair 25% refund or dividend system will act as a vital economic cushion, especially as future generations face mounting financial crises, inflation, and economic downturns.
4. Call to Action:
We call upon international policymakers, governments, regulators, and digital leaders to recognize digital equity as a fundamental human right. It is time to reform global telecommunication and tech laws to ensure that digital wealth is shared justly with the people, rather than concentrated in the hands of a few.
Signed by ordinary citizens worldwide, fighting for a
fairer economic future.
