Freedom of digital rights

The Internet was created with the idea that it would connect people across the globe, to crate, share, use, and discuss digital media.

A BBC news survey found that four in five people, from around the world, believe access to the Internet is a fundamental right. Along with that in 2010, Finland and Estonia "ruled that access is a human right for their citizens." In 2011, Wired reported that, the United Nations stated it is a human rights violation and against international law to disconnect people from the Internet.

People in favor of net neutrality claim that having net neutrality will allow freedom of speech and rights to grow and expand, resulting in a more democracy in regards to Internet rights. Some people are afraid that if net neutrality gets repealed major Internet service providers will use this new power to take away citizens rights, little by little. Allowing access to the entire Internet without having to pay for it will further increase the knowledge of our nation and allow for less biased news.
