[kictanet] Internet Access Is Not a Human Right By VINTON G. CERF

[Victor Kapiyo]

I would agree with Grace and disagree with Cerf to some extent.

I think the internet has become an essential component of the human
condition, and perhaps that would explain the reasoning of the UN in
declaring access to the internet a human right. It is given that the
internet can be a means to an end, or the end by itself, and for that
reason that right of access, must be protected because without it, then you
limit those rights and freedoms that can only be enjoyed through the
provision of access to the internet as have been mentioned e.g. expression
etc.
