上网应该是每个人都能享受的基本人权

上网应该是每个人都能享受的基本人权  

You might take it for granted that you can load up Twitter or browse through Reddit whenever you like
but around half of the 7.7 billion people living on the pla right now aren't yet able to get online.
And that's a big problem
according to one researcher. Merten Reglitz
a philosopher and global ethics lecturer from the University of Birmingham in the UK says inter access should be established as a basic human right that everyone is entitled to.
"Inter access is a unique and non-substitutable way for realising fundamental human rights such as free speech and assembly
" he writes in a new paper.
他在一篇新论文中写道：“上网是实现言论自由和集会等基本人权的独特而且不可替代的方式。”
The argument is that going online is now so essential for participating in modern life
doing without it puts people at a serious disadvantage in terms of staying informed
getting their voices heard
realising their fundamental human rights
and much more.
What's more
if people aren't able to afford a connection to the inter
then it should be provided to them free of charge
according to Reglitz.
"Inter access is no luxury
but instead a moral human right and everyone should have unmonitored and uncensored access to this global medium - provided free of charge for those unable to afford it
" says Reglitz.
"Without such access
many people lack a meaningful way to influence and hold accountable supranational rule-makers and institutions. These individuals simply don't have a say in the making of the rules they must obey and which shape their life chances."
