In our increasingly digitized society, online spaces are oftentimes owned – or exploited – by large tech companies that seem to disconnect from shared public values. We have become largely dependent on their digital services, and digital platform or content creators are bound to their terms. The standard is ‘free’ platforms built on advertisement income. In other words, the rights of users are violated by exploiting their personal data. These disruptive changes in our socio-economic landscape demand research into new financial models that are based on public values.

Regulation, including GDPR, consumer law and privacy, presents a barrier to entry to implementing Web Monetization standard and Interledger Protocol. We will develop a suite of legal texts including a template for generating a GDPR record of processing, a privacy policy, a generic terms of use, and consumer terms for using Web Monetization Standard and Interledger Protocol. We will develop them in the open, and make them available under a Creative Commons Attribution licence. We want people implementing Web Monetization to concentrate on providing excellent content and a great user experience, and not have to waste time and resources on unnecessarily expensive and time-consuming routes to compliance with legal regulation.
