Constitutional Foundation for Digital Property Rights- Your Products, Your Data, Your Rights!

The Electronic Bill of Rights is built upon the constitutional principles embodied in the Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution, recognizing that these protections should extend to the digital age.

Privacy, property, and liberty should not end where the digital world begins. 

The constitutional principles that have protected Americans for more than two centuries should extend equally to an individual's Name, Image, Likeness, and Data in the digital age.

EBOR digital rights framework is also centered on enforcement of existing consumer protection, child protection, and Federal Communication Commission privacy laws associated with phones, computers, and products supported by telecommunication and internet infrastructure regulated by the federal government.

EBOR recognizes that the constitutional principles protecting privacy, property, civil liberties, and human rights should extend to the digital age.

EBOR prevents the constitutional protections embodied in the Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendments from being circumvented by proxy through digital technologies and legal mechanisms, including consumer contracts of adhesion (Terms of Service) that compel participation in surveillance and data-mining business models.

These illegal predatory consumer agreements require the owners of phones, computers, and connected products to surrender their rights to privacy, property, security, safety, data sovereignty, biological sovereignty, financial sovereignty, civil liberties, and human rights as a condition of using the very products and services they have purchased.

 These predatory agreements enable multinational corporations—including those based in adversarial nations—to surveil your daily life while monetizing the Name, Image, Likeness, and Data (NILD) collected through your privately owned products and devices. 

 As connected products have become the gateway to modern life, an individual’s Name, Image, Likeness, and Data (NILD) have become the digital equivalent of a person’s “papers and effects”—protected by the Constitution against unreasonable searches and seizures as a fundamental safeguard of privacy. 

This is true for children.

Over the last 20 years, the tech and advertising industries have waged a campaign to desensitize the public to the loss of privacy, civil liberties, and constitutional protections associated with the search and seizure of an individual’s Name, Image, Likeness, and Data (NILD)—the digital equivalent of a person’s “papers and effects.”

NILD encompasses highly sensitive information generated, stored, or accessible through connected products, including:

• Personal identification
• Personal and family information
• Business and professional information
• Financial and banking information
• Biological and medical information
• Employment information
• Political affiliation
• Physical and digital location data
• Retail purchases and consumer activity
• Biometric data
• Legal documents and communications
• Text messages, emails, and email attachments
• Contacts, address books, and calendar information
• Phone and messaging logs, including identification of those you are in contact with
• Other highly sensitive personal and business information

All of this information is aggregated by the developers who collect it to create an identifiable digital profile that advertisers call your “Digital Twin.” Your children also have Digital Twins, which are exploited for profit through targeted advertising and data broker sales.

Your NILD may also be shared, directly or indirectly, with governments and military contractors around the world—posing significant privacy, security, and safety threats to you, your family, and your business.

This is also true for businesses that use phones, computers, and other products supported by Android, iOS, or Windows—their business information creates a Digital Twin as well. For some businesses, this information can end up in the hands of adversarial nations and business competitors, posing significant cybersecurity, privacy, security, and economic threats to the business.

All of this information makes up your NILD—and the NILD of your children. 

In the digital age, the constitutional principle remains the same: your private information should not lose its protection simply because your “papers and effects” have become digital.

 The tech industry and numerous governments have waged a 20 plus year campaign to desensitize society—including businesses—to the idea that it is acceptable for multinational corporations, military contractors, and governments, directly or by proxy, to monitor, track, and data-mine citizens, children, and business professionals for profit 24 hours a day, 365 days a year through the very products and services they own and use.

This continuous surveillance and data mining creates an individual’s or business’s Name, Image, Likeness, and Data (NILD), or “Digital Twin,” which is then exploited for profit through highly addictive, harmful, and deadly AI-infused apps, platforms, and digital services used by adults, teens, and children.

As a result, society has increasingly accepted the premise that there is no expectation of privacy or security when using a phone, computer, or connected product supported by telecommunications and internet infrastructure regulated by the Federal Communications Commission forgoing FCC privacy laws that protect a person or a business from unauthorized access, surveillance, and the collection and disclosure of certain communications, plus personal, business, and customer information.

Collectively this information creates your NILD which is your private property protected by the constitution through the fourth, fifth, and fourteenth amendments.  

Threats Posed by The U.S. China Tech Lobby!

Due to the power of the U.S. China tech lobby, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Department of Justice (DOJ), and State Attorneys General are not enforcing numerous consumer protection, child protection, and FCC privacy laws aside from not enforcing constitutional privacy and property rights protections.

Enclosed below are just a few examples of many laws and constitutional protections that are not being enforced.

Constitutional Protections

Fourth Amendment — U.S. Constitution: Protects people against unreasonable searches and seizures by the government and establishes requirements for warrants, including probable cause and particularity regarding the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized.

The Amendment specifically protects the right of people to be secure in their “persons, houses, papers, and effects.” 

Fifth Amendment — U.S. Constitution: Protects individuals from being deprived of “life, liberty, or property, without due process of law” and prohibits the government from taking private property for public use without just compensation. It also protects against self-incrimination and double jeopardy and requires grand-jury indictment for certain serious federal crimes. 

Fourteenth Amendment — U.S. Constitution: Protects individuals from being deprived of “life, liberty, or property, without due process of law” by a state and guarantees equal protection of the laws to all persons within a state’s jurisdiction.  

Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act) — 15 U.S.C. § 45

Non-Enforcement of Existing State and Federal Laws

FCC Privacy Laws

Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) — 18 U.S.C. §§ 2510–2523, 2701–2713: Establishes federal protections against certain unauthorized interception, access, use, and disclosure of electronic communications and stored electronic communications, including communications such as telephone calls, emails, and other electronic data, subject to statutory exceptions and lawful government access procedures.

Cable Communications Policy Act (Subscriber Privacy) — 47 U.S.C. § 551: Protects cable subscribers’ personally identifiable information by restricting its collection, use, and disclosure by cable operators, requiring notice of their information practices, and generally requiring subscriber consent before personally identifiable information may be disclosed, subject to statutory exceptions. 

Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI) — 47 U.S.C. § 222: Protects the confidentiality of customers’ proprietary telecommunications information by requiring telecommunications carriers to safeguard CPNI and restricting its use and disclosure without customer approval, subject to specific statutory exceptions. 

FCC CPNI Regulations — 47 C.F.R. §§ 64.2001–64.2011: Establish rules requiring telecommunications carriers to protect the confidentiality and security of Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI) and govern how carriers may use, disclose, and provide access to customer information, including requirements for customer approval, authentication, safeguards, and compliance.

Communications Act – Just and Reasonable Practices — 47 U.S.C. § 201(b): Requires that all charges, practices, classifications, and regulations of common carriers for interstate or foreign communications services be just and reasonable and declares any unjust or unreasonable charge, practice, classification, or regulation unlawful. 

 Communications Act – Non-Discrimination — 47 U.S.C. § 202(a): Prohibits common carriers from engaging in unjust or unreasonable discrimination in charges, practices, classifications, regulations, facilities, or services, and prohibits giving any person, class of persons, or locality an undue or unreasonable preference or advantage or subjecting them to an undue or unreasonable prejudice or disadvantage. 

Contracts of adhesion (terms of service) are illegal due to the fact they discriminate against individuals who turn down the contacts resulting in them being barred from using their telephone, computer, or product to access telecom and internet infrastructure regulated by the FCC.

Legal or consumer contracts cannot circumvent this FCC privacy law.

Communications Act – Public Interest Standard — 47 U.S.C. §§ 214, 309: Requires the FCC to consider the public interest, convenience, and necessity when authorizing certain communications services and facilities and when granting or renewing spectrum licenses, helping ensure that regulated communications activities serve the public interest. 

Consumer and Child Protection Laws

Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) — 15 U.S.C. §§ 6501–6506; COPPA Rule — 16 C.F.R. Part 312: Protects the online privacy of children under age 13 by regulating how covered websites and online services collect, use, and disclose children’s personal information, including requirements for privacy notices, verifiable parental consent, data security, parental access and control, and limits on data retention.

It is currently illegal for any child under the age of 13 to use any phone, computer, or product supported by Android, iOS, or Windows due to the fact that these operating systems plus the AI infused apps and platforms are supported by uncontrollable surveillance and data mining technologies, addictive AI infused apps, plus predatory and exploitive surveillance and data mining business practices rooted in Surveillance Capitalism.

Children under the age of 13 receive specific federal privacy protections under COPPA, it is illegal for any child under 13 to accept a predatory contract of adhesion and terms of service.

It is incomprehensible that the tech industry successfully lobbied for policies that allow 13- to 17-year-olds to accept predatory contracts of adhesion and terms of service that can authorize extensive surveillance, data collection, targeted advertising, and exploitation of their personal information.

Video Voyeurism Prevention Act — 18 U.S.C. § 1801: Prohibits intentionally capturing an image of a person’s private area without consent under circumstances in which the person has a reasonable expectation of privacy, when the conduct occurs within federal jurisdiction. 

• State Invasive Visual Recording / Video Voyeurism Laws: Generally, prohibit secretly photographing, videotaping, broadcasting, or recording a person in locations where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy, particularly bathrooms, changing rooms, bedrooms, and other private spaces. Exact protections and criminal penalties vary by state.

Federal Trade Commission Act – Unfair or Deceptive Consumer Contracts — 15 U.S.C. § 45: Prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce, providing the FTC authority to challenge deceptive contract terms, material misrepresentations, hidden or misleading disclosures, and certain unfair practices that cause or are likely to cause substantial consumer injury. 

Federal Trade Commission Act – Fraudulent Inducement and Deceptive Advertising — 15 U.S.C. § 45: Prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or practices in commerce, including materially false or misleading advertising, representations, or omissions that can induce consumers to purchase, subscribe to, or use products or services under deceptive circumstances. 

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) — 42 U.S.C. § 1320d et seq.; 45 C.F.R. Parts 160 and 164: Establishes federal protections for protected health information (PHI) held by covered entities and business associates, regulating how health information may be used and disclosed and requiring safeguards to protect its privacy and security. 

FTC Health Breach Notification Rule — 16 C.F.R. Part 318: Requires covered vendors of personal health records and related entities that are not subject to HIPAA to notify individuals, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and, in certain cases, the media following a breach of unsecured identifiable health information, including certain unauthorized disclosures of health information.

Attorney-Client Privilege: Protects confidential communications between an attorney and client made for the purpose of seeking or providing legal advice, generally preventing those communications from being compelled or disclosed to third parties without the client’s consent, subject to recognized exceptions and waiver. 

 Stored Communications Act (SCA) — 18 U.S.C. §§ 2701–2713: Protects certain stored electronic communications and customer records from unauthorized access and disclosure and establishes legal procedures governing when electronic communications service providers may disclose stored communications and records to government entities and other parties. 

 Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) — 18 U.S.C. § 1030: Prohibits certain forms of unauthorized access to protected computers and computer systems, including obtaining information without authorization, computer-related fraud, damaging protected computers, trafficking in passwords or access credentials, and certain other forms of unauthorized computer intrusion.

Non-Enforcement of National Security Laws

Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act (PAFACA) — Pub. L. 118-50 (2024): Addresses national security threats posed by foreign-adversary-controlled applications by prohibiting covered applications from being distributed, maintained, or updated through U.S. app stores and internet hosting services unless the application undergoes a qualified divestiture, subject to the requirements and procedures established by the Act. 

It is currently illegal for Googel, Apple, and Microsoft to distribute highly addictive, intrusive, and exploitive apps, platforms, chatbots, AI products and services, retail apps, and other essential platforms developed in adversarial nations that include China and Russia.

Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS): Establish federal cybersecurity and information-processing standards developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for use by federal agencies and, where applicable, government contractors and other covered systems, including standards governing encryption, authentication, data security, and the protection of sensitive government information and information systems. 

Classified National Security Information — Executive Order 13526; 18 U.S.C. §§ 793–798: Protects classified information relating to national defense and national security from unauthorized access, disclosure, transmission, or retention, with federal law establishing criminal penalties for certain unauthorized handling or disclosure of protected national security information.

Executive Summary- Understanding Harms Caused by Targeted Advertising Rooted in Surveillance Capitalism

The Electronic Bill of Rights (EBOR) is not a theoretical framework—it is grounded in existing federal law.

Before individuals can understand how they are harmed, they must first understand how the surveillance capitalism business model operates through essential telecom and technology products—such as smartphones—that are necessary for modern life and come at a cost.

It is also critical to understand which devices and platforms—including those supported by Android, iOS, and Windows—serve as the primary vectors for surveillance, as well as the scale and scope of data extraction from those devices and services.

The following section explains how this process works, including:

• How data is collected, aggregated, and analyzed 
• The volume and types of highly confidential information involved 
• How that data is used, shared, and monetized 
• The legal mechanisms enabling these practices, including contracts of adhesion (terms of service) that condition access to essential products and services on acceptance of broad data collection policies

It is not just privacy that is at stake—it is the systematic exploitation of individuals for profit at the expense of their privacy, security, and safety, as well as their data and financial sovereignty, biological autonomy (including biometric and genetic information), civil liberties, and fundamental human rights by way of products and services that cost money.

Modern connected devices—including smartphones, tablet PCs, connected home products, personal computers, servers, wearable technologies, security and environmental systems, connected vehicles, AI-enabled toys, and other digital services—form a pervasive and continuous data-collection environment.

These devices and platforms operate as always-on data collection nodes, enabled by operating systems such as Android, iOS, and Windows, as well as AI-infused applications, social media platforms, and chatbots.

Within this ecosystem:

• Data is continuously collected, transmitted, and analyzed 
• User behavior, location, interactions, and preferences are monitored 
• Multiple layers of software and services contribute to ongoing data aggregation 

This model is primarily supported by data-driven business practices centered on targeted advertising, often described as surveillance-based monetization.

Participation in this ecosystem is frequently governed by non-negotiable terms of service (contracts of adhesion), where access to essential products and services is conditioned on acceptance of broad data collection and use policies.

Data collected from individuals—including teens, children, and business professionals—is often facilitated through what can be described as “leaky operating systems” (Android, iOS, and Windows). These systems support a broad ecosystem of AI-infused applications, social media platforms, and AI chatbots that are designed to drive engagement and data collection at scale.

Within this framework, many of these applications and platforms function in ways that may be characterized as “legal malware”—software that operates within the bounds of the predatory contract of adhesion (terms of service) while enabling extensive data extraction, behavioral tracking, and monetization.

These operating systems and their associated ecosystems underpin essential connected telecom and technology products—including smartphones, computers, and other digital services—that are now required for participation in modern life.

 The surveillance and data mining being conducted by Alphabet (Google), Apple, Microsoft, Meta, TikTok USDS JV, ByteDance (China), Wildberries (Russia), and others is "indiscriminate" meaning they are collecting from individuals, businesses, and government agencies is the following buckets of highly confidential information (over 5,000 data points):

• Personal, Business, Employment, Financial, and Legal
• Medical, Health, and Biometric
• Location, Geofence, and Motion
• Behavioral 
• Sensitive User Data (Texts, Emails, Attachments, Calendar, Contacts, Phone/Messaging Logs, Accounts, Audio Recordings of End User, Photos, Videos, Files, and Other Specific user Data)
• External Information Connected to Host Device- Thumb Drive, External Hard Drive, Computer, TV, Connected Vehicle, any Connected Source
• Indiscriminate Audio, Video, and Physical Surveillance on Personal and Business Activities 24x7/365 Days Per Year

All data collected from individuals—including teens and children—is aggregated into identifiable digital profiles, often referred to as Digital DNA. These profiles represent detailed behavioral, personal, and usage patterns tied to a specific individual.

Operating system providers and developers—including those behind Android, iOS, and Windows—enable the creation of these identifiable user profiles through system-level data access, application activity, and integrated services. These profiles are then leveraged for monetization, primarily through targeted advertising, as well as other commercial uses, including data sharing and resale.

In addition to data collected directly from device owners and end users, operating system providers, app developers, and AI platforms may also acquire and combine user profile data from third-party sources. This results in a layered aggregation model, where multiple entities contribute to and exploit increasingly comprehensive user profiles.

The outcome is a data ecosystem in which:

• Individuals are continuously profiled across devices and platforms 
• Data is combined, enriched, and redistributed among multiple parties 
• Both users and paying customers may be subject to profiling and monetization 
• Sensitive behavioral and personal data becomes a commercial asset
• Highly addictive AI infused apps, social media platforms, and AI chatbots programmed to induce "The Eliza Effect" (AI indoctrination) are used to ensure maximum engagement

The widespread use of highly addictive and manipulative technologies embedded in AI-infused applications, social media platforms, and AI chatbots has contributed to a growing global technology addiction crisis. This crisis affects adults, teens, and children alike and has been associated with increases in anxiety, depression, violence, online bullying, self-harm, public discord, political polarization, and suicide.

At some point, the question needs to be asked:

"If addiction, harm, mental health decline, exploitation, and the loss of life among teens and children are not the line at which government, advertisers, and Big Tech change their business models, then what is?" 

Individuals who access the internet through devices supported by Android, iOS, or Windows operating systems are subject to large-scale data collection and profiling within Google's global advertising ecosystems supported by the AdTech AI-Quantum Control Platform (Core) that distributes targeted ads to billions of people around the world 24x7/365 days per year.

Google's ecosystem—often described as the AdTech Core and ecosystem of micro cores—aggregate user data to enable the delivery of targeted advertising across international markets. Through a network comprised of over 35,000 data brokers, developers, advertisers, PR agencies, developers, and platform providers, user information can be distributed and utilized across multiple jurisdictions worldwide, including those in China and Russia.

This includes regions with varying regulatory standards, raising important questions about:

• Where user data is processed and stored 
• Who has access to that data across global markets 
• How data flows between commercial ecosystems and international entities 
• The extent to which user profiles are shared, licensed, or monetized globally
• Targeted ads are sent to a user anywhere in the world through multiple digital signatures that include GPS, geofence, nearfield communication (NFC tags), Bluetooth, Wi-Fi access points, cellular tower triangulation, and bio metric data that includes facial recognition and voice prints

These platforms operate through interconnected advertising infrastructures—sometimes referred to as “micro AdTech ecosystems”—that support real-time bidding, audience targeting, and behavioral profiling at planetary scale.

Through biometric data, individuals can potentially be identified and located—even without carrying their personal device—using technologies such as facial recognition and voice pattern analysis. These capabilities can operate through nearby connected devices, cameras, or other networked products within close proximity via Google's AdTech Core and global ecosystem, for advertisers this is the greatest system every created, for military use it is the greatest targeting system on the planet.

Global advertising technology (AdTech) infrastructures—originally developed for commercial targeting—are increasingly being examined in the context of national security and information operations.

Large-scale AdTech platforms and their surrounding ecosystems enable capabilities such as:

• Behavioral profiling at population scale 
• Real-time data aggregation and analysis 
• Precision targeting of individuals and groups 
• Content amplification and distribution across digital channels 

These same capabilities may be leveraged beyond commercial use cases. Governments and state-aligned actors have been documented utilizing data-driven platforms and digital ecosystems for purposes including:

• Intelligence gathering and surveillance 
• Information operations, including misinformation and propaganda 
• Influence and behavioral shaping at scale 
• Strategic espionage and data mining and analytics 
• Targeted digital campaigns across populations 
• Blackmail

This convergence of commercial data infrastructure and government use cases is often described as civil–military fusion, where technologies developed in the private sector are adapted for national security and strategic operations.

Chinese and Russian civil military programs including those in the U.S. involving Palantir Technologies Gotham Intelligence and Military Core pose massive threats to privacy, security, and safety to everyone, including teens and children, connected to the internet by way of any device or services supported by Android, iOS, or Windows.

Summary of Harms Caused by Targeted Advertising Rooted in Surveillance Capitalism

Tech addiction cannot be compared to alcohol, drug, or tobacco addiction.

Addictive brain hijacking, manipulative advertising, and AI indoctrination combined equals military grade brainwashing technology far more dangerous than subliminal advertising technology banned in the 20th century.

Addictive design is equally harmful to adults as it is to teens and children and should be banned.

Engineered engagement loops create dependency, addiction, and loss of behavioral control.

Linked to anxiety, depression, loneliness, self-harm, suicide, online harassment, and social isolation.

AI and algorithmic systems influence perception, decision-making, behavior, and beliefs without meaningful awareness or consent.

Nation-states and adversaries exploit social media, AI systems, and consumer apps to conduct psychological and cognitive warfare at scale.

Government and platform alignment raises concerns regarding mass surveillance, civil liberties, and individual autonomy.

Phones, computers, and connected products have evolved into always-on surveillance and data-extraction systems.

Consumers must accept non-negotiable terms of service with no meaningful opt-out, negotiation, or informed consent.

Complex and fragmented terms of service obscure actual surveillance, data collection, and monetization practices.

Embedded tracking technologies enable multi-entity surveillance, hidden data sharing, and limited user visibility.

Consumers generate valuable data, pay for devices and connectivity, yet receive no compensation while platforms profit from their behavior.

Thousands of data points are used to create highly detailed profiles containing personal, business, biometric, health, behavioral, and location information.

Digital profiles can be used for pricing manipulation, opportunity restriction, bias, and unequal access to services.

Continuous monitoring across home, work, medical, legal, and social environments erodes fundamental rights at scale.

Control of digital ecosystems by a handful of technology companies concentrates economic power, market access, and control over personal data.

The current model persists because it is highly profitable.

• Targeted advertising drives massive revenues.
• Settlements are treated as a cost of doing business.
• Awareness campaigns often fail to address the underlying economic incentives.

This is not a failure of awareness—it is a failure of incentives and enforcement.

EBOR addresses the structural causes of these harms through:

• Ban on Surveillance Capitalism
• Ban on Contracts of Adhesion
• Data Ownership and Informed Consent
• Ban on Manipulative and Addictive Technologies
• Algorithmic Accountability
• Separation of AdTech from Government and Defense
• Protection from Foreign Adversarial Exploitation
• Enforcement of Existing Telecom, Consumer, and Child Protection Laws

Most policy proposals address only one layer of the problem.

EBOR addresses:

• Data Collection
• Platforms and Algorithms
• Behavioral and Societal Outcomes

Because if the data is compromised, the intelligence built upon it is compromised.

The Electronic Bill of Rights calls upon lawmakers, regulators, businesses, critical infrastructure operators, tech safety advocates, privacy advocates, and consumers to recognize a simple reality:

Privacy, security, safety, civil liberties, human rights, and NILD sovereignty are not optional features—they are fundamental rights.

Together, these harms highlight the need for an Electronic Bill of Rights (EBOR) to restore privacy, security, safety, civil liberties, human rights, data ownership, and informed consent in the AI and Quantum Digital Age.
