This policy seeks to "expand civil and digital liberties", into the realm of crypto-currencies, which we consider to be a fundamental "freedom of the emergent global information society". We consider it a necessary policy component to "represent the emerging digital society" and a key instance of "finding new ways to promote trust between citizens".

This policy pro-actively addresses the very first line of our constitution "to protect and expand civil and digital liberties, social equality and freedom of culture". It's goal is to expand the function of libraries; one of our core cultural institutions that has been under attack in recent times. It seeks to expand the role of these intellectual freedom zones to limit the influence of the "Overbearing and restrictive private monopolies" referenced in our constitution. It enhances "free culture, civil liberty and intellectual rights".
