Internet Access Is A Human Right

Most of the worlds Internet users believe Internet access is a basic human right. This is
according to a new poll conducted for the BBC. A survey of more than 27,000 adults in 26
different countries found four out of five people believed access to the World Wide Web was a
right everyone in the world needs and should have. The chief of the International
Telecommunication Union, Dr. Hamadoun Toure, told the BBC World Service: "The right to
communicate cannot be ignored. The Internet is the most powerful potential source of
enlightenment ever created." Dr. Toure believes online access should be available everywhere,
just like roads and water. In some countries, this has already happened. Finland and Estonia have
laws saying access is a human right.
the Internet is quickly becoming a vital part of our life, all across the world. Over 75 per cent of
Japanese, Mexican and Russian people said they could not live without it. It is easy to see why.
Almost everything we do in our life today, from communication, study, work and leisure, needs
the Internet. Without access to the Web, many people would feel helpless and powerless. Almost
80 per cent of those who took the survey believe the Web had a positive impact, with nearly four
fifths saying they have greater freedom. Other people were worried about the dangers of using
the Internet. One big surprise was that the majority of Germans felt it was not safe for them to
express their opinions online.
