[IRP] Fwd: Fwd: [ PRIVACY Forum ] Vint Cerf op-ed in the New York Times: "Internet Access Is Not a Human Right"

[Loreto Corredoira]

Of course I?d comment it. I don?t agree with V-Cerf.
The internet access it is part of the right of education (art 27 HDHR as
well as the right of communication (art. 19) in the Information Society.
Maybe it doesn?t include a particular way of connection but ACCESS not
matter how to network and therefore to content.
It has to be Universal as art 19 mentioned.
Let me express it with a metaphore: we all have freedom of circulation and
movement but if, in fact, there is not right to use the highways (an
affordable price) and these are not of good quality, the "fundamental"
right to movement would be restricted.
Sincerely,
