The first part of the book justifies the claim for this new right by showing how Internet access is vital for the enjoyment of human rights around the globe. In the second part, Reglitz specifies the content of this right, assessing today's standard threats to Internet access. He recommends a minimum international standard of connectivity and explains how states have misused the Internet. He documents how private companies already manipulate both internet access and content to maximise profit, and how lack of rights enforcement allows people to harm others online. The book establishes that a new human right to free internet access is essential to secure its role for the benefit and progress, not detriment, of humanity.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Weight: 557gGenre: Law & PoliticsTopic: Computing & InternetRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
