they declared it a right, but it isnt one.
they could declare the earth flat. it wouldnt make it so.


Rights only exist as long as you can enforce them, so if they can enforce internet access as a right then it is.

You can say you have a right to life and property, but if I drop you in south Africa we'll see how long you carry that tune.

They exist in the same capacity that social institutions do.

No. A right to something still exists even when its violated.

ITT so-called libertarians arguing in favor of the government granting monopoly power to ISPs and then allowing the publicly-enforced fascist monopoly to exploit citizens in any way it wants and block essential communication and free speech with no fear of competition.
