Internet is used for different purposes, some people earn their daily income through it while some people are there to castigate others, everyone has the right to the Internet, and stopping them is just as if they are disrupting their fundamental human rights.
The way we have the right to our opinion is the same way we have the right over other things we do as humans since we are not violating the laws and it is a way we get our daily income, it should not be eradicated without having a second thought. Stopping people from getting access to the internet could indeed be considered a human rights violation, as it would deny people the opportunity to exercise their rights to freedom of expression, access to information, and participation in the global digital community.
Let's talk about the benefits we are getting through the internet
The Internet is a medium through which we are updated, we get so much information through the Internet, I have never read a newspaper in my life because I see it as something boring, and since we are in a digital era I can now access the internet and search for anything I want to know without stress but denying that access would lead to misinformation and that can damage human lives, for example weather prediction, all theses are happening because of internet, we can able to know what tomorrow hold for us and not go out when it is not right.
The second point on my list is education, some of us are in other countries and schooling in another country, and this can only happen through the medium of the internet, we attend classes online, do our assignments through the internet, and also defend our projects through the internet, the internet is not just for abusing the politicians, we are gaining more from it so denying that access means people have to go through the stress of admission into the university for visibility.
I can able to write this post with the help of the Internet, without the Internet I could never pass this message also people are getting their daily income through this medium, I have a friend who is a digital analyst for a company abroad and he is here in my country, they always communicate online, how will such person cope if we are denied the access to the internet without going to rob the banks or joined bad gangs in other to make money.
The internet is a home for most of us, people rely much on it and it is working for us, people are no longer walking on the street looking for jobs, we are now overcoming poverty in this generation, and children are now assets to their parents through the help of the internet, taking all this away is a violation even if you improvise or make another alternative.
As humans we have the right to our opinion and space, no one can just take it away from us, instead of getting rid of our access to the internet there will always be a way to go around and make sure people are not hurt by your decision, people can not cope with it especially if you are earning through the internet, where will they start from? That is the question we should ask ourselves.
We shouldn't victimize or oppress others when we are in power, some people are fond of misusing their power and purposely making others suffer, The internet is causing good than harm in society today and I think everyone should have the freedom to use it without being sanctioned.
This is my response to this episode of hivelearners community prompt of #hl-w151e2 which the topic is tagged A FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHT
