> Scrolling through endless humblebrags without targeted ads is a fundamental right, according to privacy expert I wonder what make a right fundamental or not? Some right, like the right to life, is illegal to sell.. You can't let others kill you in exchange of money. UN list "right to education", which, is not that universal.. You can't get unlimited education without paying.

Sounds like you're talking about the difference between positive and negative rights. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_and_positive_rights https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_and_positive_rights

  Given the clarifying instance GP mentions of "Some right, like the right to life, is illegal to sell" this seems more of a comparison between alienable and inalienable rights.

> wonder what make a right fundamental or not? Well, of course there is a document for that (see "Article 8"): https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:12012P/TXT https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:12... > Some right, like the right to life, is illegal to sell. Every "real" right can't be sold, if you could it wouldn't be a right. That's why it is for example impossible to give away or sell your copyright in the EU. > You can't get unlimited education without paying. That's why the formulation in the EU paper is as follows: Article 14 Right to education 1. Everyone has the right to education and to have access to vocational and continuing training. 2. This right includes the possibility to receive free compulsory education. 3. The freedom to found educational establishments with due respect for democratic principles and the right of parents to ensure the education and teaching of their children in conformity with their religious, philosophical and pedagogical convictions shall be respected, in accordance with the national laws governing the exercise of such freedom and right.
