The FCC refuses to listen to anything we have to say about Net Neutrality. unless it involves serious legal issues. So today, I’m going to give us one, so we can all beat them at their own game.
In 2003, the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) convened and specifically established the following: “We reaffirm, as an essential foundation of the Information Society, and as outlined in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, that everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; that this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers […] Everyone, everywhere should have the opportunity to participate and no one should be excluded from the benefits the Information Society offers.” [2]
If Net Neutrality is repealed, ISPs will be able to interfere with who, specifically, has access to particular parts of and possibly even the whole Internet. This is a contradiction to the official reaffirmation above and thus it is a direct violation of our HUMAN RIGHTS.
Spread the word NOW. Contact your reps (which I have already done) and hell, the FCC too, and let them know that OUR HUMAN RIGHTS WILL NOT BE VIOLATED.
The word about this NEEDS to get out to everyone, RIGHT NOW. Do not hesitate to reblog this.
THE REPEAL OF NET NEUTRALITY IS A VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS.
