I haven't yet made up my mind on net neutrality. But Sam says: "I believe access should be a basic right".
My question is: How can something be a human right if you need to pay for it? Because as of today you still need to pay an ISP for internet access.
- rrdharan 10y agoA lot of folks would consider personal security a basic right, but someone still has to pay for the police. Some folks believe that healthcare should be a basic right, and people definitely have to pay for that.
- plainOldText 10y agoI won't get into the healthcare topic as it's still a mess in my opinion, however, regarding one's right to security, as far as I know police do not have a duty to protect someone.
