Considering how much of our existence is online these days, it seems like denying people the means to participate is almost like denying their right to exist.

I’d like to see a world where everyone has the capability to shape this digital space in a fair and accessible manner.

    Yes it should be a basic human right.

    But with that said, it shouldn’t be a basic human expectation. There should always be simpler alternatives to basic daily needs, not everyone has access to the internet, nor does everyone even have the mentality to fully utilize modern technology.

    Also, fuck touchscreens in cars. /rant

      The right to access must necessarily include the right not to access. Freedom of religion is meaningless if you’re not also free to reject religion. Freedom of speech is meaningless if you’ve no right to remain silent. etc.

      Fuck algorithms and society getting raped by marketing manipulation, and then blaming the same people it manipulated and abused for the problems caused.

      I dunno. I’m on the fence with this. I don’t feel that anyone has a right to misinformation.

          Stupid people having access to other stupid people has got us; flat earthers, anti-vaxxers, “truthers”, and worst of all, trumpers.
