-'''Introduction'''

-Over the past decade, new technologies have
-begun to alter societies dramatically. Entire
-industries — education, transportation, media,
-finance, healthcare, publishing — as well as trust in
-democratic institutions, governance and the very
-notion of open society are being turned upside down
-by the digital revolution. Much of what we took for
-granted — the nature of work, individual rights, the
-legitimacy of elites, and even what it means to be
-human — is being questioned across the world by
-digital transformations.
-Despite the original promise of a web based on a
-decentralized architecture, today’s digital space
-has become intensely centralized. Over the past
-ten years, the network effect has enabled tech
-superpowers to gain astonishing power and wealth,
-often based on business models that profit from the
-commercial appropriation of users’ data.
-Digital technologies have fundamentally altered
-the mechanisms through which individuals
-encounter and consume information and services,
-engage and communicate with other individuals
-and with institutions, form self-identities and
-foster communities. They have also provided new
-means for individuals to engage with the societal
-and political spheres, through shared causes and
-citizen-driven movements. A shift in the dynamics of
-societal participation can be a force for progressive
-change towards a more efficient form of organization,
-or at least a more inclusive or representative one.
-However, fast and disruptive changes also pose
-existential challenges to institutions that were
-conceived in the 20th century but seem to have lost
-touch with this new reality.
-The adverse consequences of the digital revolution
-– surveillance capitalism based on the exploitation
-of our personal data; the spread of anonymous
-online abuse; the growing power of big data
-monopolies; the decline of mainstream media;
-orchestrated disinformation and online propaganda;
-unaccountable algorithmic segregation dividing
-us into introverted opinion bubbles; an increasing
-number of surveillance measures under the
-pretext of fighting against criminal networks; the
-unaccountable extension of State powers, which is
-justified as necessary to deal with emerging threats;
-the impact of machine-learning, automated decision making and smart automation on employment,
-access to culture1 and privacy2 — all of these challenge the resilience of open and democratic societies.
-The disruption of new technologies has triggered
-new challenges for institutions and regulators, who re increasingly asked to address the impact of the
-digital revolution on society, protect users’ rights
-and agency, and establish the conditions for an open
-and fair digital market to flourish and stimulate
-innovation in the public interest. To protect the
-rights of the people from technological forces that
-often seem both uncontrollable and unaccountable,
-the EU, its Member States and civil society need
-to address comprehensively a set of key questions
-affecting European democracies and societies.
-For the EU to innovate and promote governance
-processes that are more inclusive and encourage
-people to participate in policymaking, it needs
-to diversify the input into the debate around the
-European digital agenda, bringing together cuttingedge knowledge, different sectoral perspectives
-and innovative thinking that goes beyond past
-institutional norms. For this reason, the Open
-Society European Policy Institute (OSEPI) and The
-European Consumer Organization (BEUC) joined
-forces to convene a diverse group of civil society
-representatives to discuss how Europe can shape
-the next decade of digital transformation in the
-public interest. During a first meeting with senior
-EU officials in November 2018, the group called on
-the European Commission to promote a humancentric approach to the digital transformation in
-the preparation of the post-2019 EU agenda.
-The Sibiu Declaration of May 9 2019 was an
-important first step in this direction, as EU Member
-States jointly stressed the need to uphold the
-principle of fairness in the digital transformation,
-and committed to help the most vulnerable in Europe
-and put people before politics.3
-In June, the Council conclusions on the future of a highly digitised
-EU went even further by emphasizing the crucial
-role of a human-centric approach that respects the
-Charter of Fundamental Rights and ensures respect
-for privacy, data protection rights and intellectual
-property rights as well as rules of product safety and
-liability.4
-Europe is now faced with the dramatic challenge,
-responsibility and opportunity of pioneering a better
-digital society and bringing human agency back to the
-centre of innovation, growth and social cohesion. To
-do so, the next European Commission will need to:
-a) Focus on the societal impact of digital
-technology, looking beyond the single market
-and individual privacy to develop a European
-model of digital transformation predicated on
-human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality,
-rule of law, human rights, solidarity, justice,
-inclusion and non-discrimination;
-b) Strongly commit to rights-based policies and
-regulation, particularly at a time when tech
-giants increasingly push forward narratives and
-commitments on ethics in what seems like an
-attempt to dodge issues of public accountability
-and societal interest (i.e. ‘ethics washing’).
-Principles informing EU policymaking in
-the digital sphere should build on the EU
-Fundamental Rights framework, and expand
-it to ensure that existing offline rights are
-protected online;
-c) Ensure that transparency, accountability
-and participation underpin the development
-of human-centric digital policies in Europe. The
-genuine, meaningful involvement of civil society
-in the development of the next digital agenda
-for Europe will be critical to designing and
-implementing policies and regulation that serve
-the public interest and foster open societies.
-This paper expands on these three overarching
-recommendations by identifying eight key areas
-of focus for the next Commission. Based on
-contributions from a diverse group of civil society
-representatives, it addresses specific concerns and
-suggests possible ways of addressing them.
