Is The Internet A Human Right?

[Kyle B]

If the internet is a basic human right, than we also need to make television, books, magazines/newspapers, and computers basic human rights.

If I was living somewhere where everyday I worried about feeding my children, I would be rightly pissed off hearing someone say that having the internet was a human right!

I think not having the internet cuts people off from a lot of information and services. Not sure about the human right aspect per se, but internet access is about more than youtube, porn, and whatever else. People in need can find a lot of helpful information on the internet to help them get out of their situations, so I think internet access should at least be readily available at libraries or career centers.

It is where I live. How about in Michigan?

If you look hard enough, you can find some. The libraries are being defunded and closing here and there, but for the most part I think it is accessible. Just not accessible enough.

I am now of the opinion that the right of access to an unrestricted, unbiased, and uncensored internet should exist.

The imporant words of the above being: 'Access to', 'uncensored.' Having the right of access is different to having a direct right to something, and an uncensored internet is as important in the western hemisphere as it is in China and the middle-east.

I'm not sure that that can exist, not with today's Big Brother governments

The internet isn't a right. If you can access it then good for you but nobody deserves to have the internet out-right.

Probably very little of the internet is unbiased but at least you can find viewpoints from lots of different biases.

Perhaps unbiased was a poor choice of term, and superfluous. But you get what I mean

Nah, it was good. The internet itself can be unbiased even though every single site is not.

In my case it should be my human right to have free internet >.<
