With people relying on the internet for their everyday lives its no wonder that to some people think that internet should be considered a human right. The right to internet access is also know as the right to broadband. The human rights council HRC is an organization
I believe that parents should be allowed the option of censoring their own personal computer from viewing websites with X rated content without having the internet censored as a whole. I believe that once the government gets involved in telling us what we can and cannot view over the internet, we begin to lose our constitutional rights as Americans. In an article titled "10 Reasons the Government Should Not Regulate the Internet" the very first reason listed states "1. To Protect the First Amendment – One of the most cherished rights granted to Americans, the right to free speech and freedom of the press, is protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution.
