The right to general purpose computing should be on a level with the right to free speech in every country that claims to value free speech[1]. Same protections

The right to general purpose computing should be on a level with the right to free speech in every country that claims to value free speech[1]. Same protections as speech. Because nowadays computing is essentially speech. There certainly is a better argument for computing to be speech than monetary political donations (ie. bribes) being it. And this does of course not mean that every form of computation is permitted, just as not every form of speech is allowed (ie. threats or libel). It also doesn't mean that anyone has to platform your speech. But using technological tools to take away other's right to computing on their purchased device would be considered a free speech violation. This would include DRM, Web Integrity, denial of service and other attacks on computing devices you don't yourself own. [1] I'm referring to the free speech value with its roots in the enlightement, not on the narrower definition of the free speech as defined in the first amendment (which only limits governments from hindering free speech).
