I found this article fascinating primarily because I had never given though to whether or not my freedom to use the internet could ever be taken away. Can you imagine if the government began enforcing a law against the internet? (While I realize that this is extremely unlikely, the thought still mystifies me.) Seriously... We'd all need to go buy an encyclopedia and carry it everywhere with us or something. We are so dependent on our ability to get answers and get them fast that I can't even imagine what would happen.
But anyway - the article really never mentioned users in the United States and their opinions, but I can only imagine that as a country so deeply tied to our God-given rights and freedoms, that we'd be in agreement with this statistic from the article: "The BBC survey found that 87% of internet users felt internet access should be the 'fundamental right of all people'."
What do you think?
Where do you fall on the spectrums:
- Should the internet be a fundamental right?
- What aspect of the internet causes you the most concern?
