So is access to guns, to defend against government-sponsored genocide.

Oh for crying out loud.
We need to get a President and Congress in place who will leave the UN and kick them out of our country. What a bunch of irrelevant twits.

The UN apparently believes that people should know of their corrupt governments, but have no means to oppose them.

Nice, so how much is that going to cost me? Human rights shouldn't cost anything, so we should all get Internet access for FREE!!!!!
Don't you just love socialism?

Indeed. But I think all this means is that no one can regulate away your access. For example, because you’re a freeper. There’s been some attempts to license internet users.

But I think all this means is that no one can regulate away your access. Which is interesting, because France, a highly socialized country, has decided that penalties for some hacking include the removal of all internet access.
I wonder how this will play in Bourdoux?

ROFL. Leave it to the U.N. to declare “internet access” a basic human right, in a world where so many people are still peeing in their drinking water.

Is this one of those God-given rights than man and woman have had for 5000 years. You know, like the right to abortion? The right to your own house? The right to a job? The right to be equal in every way to every body else, that is outcome-wise?

IF the UN is not too busy, I’d like to have my private island in the Caribbeans, as is my right.
Such and such may be a human right, but there is nowhere to specify the cost that any human needs to ‘earn’ it.

What the Hell?
The right to PURCHASE Internet Access MIGHT be a Human Right. But access to the Internet it is NOT a Human Right.
Nobody has a right to ANYTHING for which someone else has to pay. That includes food, shelter, medical care, education, and Internet Access.
