Is Internet access and online freedom of expression a basic human right? The United Nations’ Human Rights Council unanimously backed that notion in a resolution on Thursday.
The resolution says that all people should be allowed to connect to and express themselves freely on the Internet. All 47 members of the Human Rights Council, including notoriously censorship-prone countries such as China and Cuba, signed the resolution.
China’s support for the resolution came with the stipulation that the “free flow of information on the Internet and the safe flow of information on the Internet are mutually dependent,” as Chinese delegate Xia Jingge told the Council in a sign that the country isn’t about to tear down the so-called “Great Firewall of China.”
The concept was first affirmed by a U.N. agency, the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), in 2003. The ITU has recently come under fire after rumors arose that member states were preparing proposals to give the United Nations more control over the Internet ahead of a December conference. The ITU has rejected many of those claims.
Internet access as a human right has since been supported by several of the Internet’s most well-known proponents, including Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web.
“[It's] an empowering thing for humanity to be connected at high speed and without borders,” Berners-Lee told the BBC in April of last year while reflecting on the Internet’s role in the Arab Spring uprisings.

Lies and disinformation. Pure BS.
The thing about the UN is that it is a purely psychopathic, criminal organization. They do nothing but lie and cover up their crimes. They murder people, then call it "humanitarian aid".
From the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights
http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/Article 29.
(1) Everyone has duties to the community in which alone the free and full development of his personality is possible.
(2) In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society.
(3) These rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations.
Now, let me break that down a bit...
(1)
Everyone has duties to the community in which alone the free and full development of his personality is possible.
i.e. You will be forced to do what we tell you to do. Slavery. This is dressing up how they will enslave people in nice language. They are deceptive.
(2) In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such
limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society.
i.e. If we want to change the rules, we will. Your rights and freedoms will be restricted. We will throw you in prison. "General welfare"? Yep. Collectivists.
(3)
These rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations.
i.e. None of the above rights apply if they don't want them to. Article 29, Section 3 effectively nullifies all human rights. The global mass extinction of human rights is being engineered by the UN.
Keep in mind, these are the same criminals that forcibly sterilize women: https://duckduckgo.c...+force+sterilizationSo, all that hot air about the UN supporting free speech and human rights and an open and free Internet... Hogwash. They are some of the architects behind the destruction. The ITU is behind the push to censor the net. When they say they're not - they are lying.
They say one thing in front of the cameras, while the reality is quite different.
