"Frank La Rue,
the U.N. Special Rapporteur on freedom of expression who made summer
headlines when he proclaimed Internet access as a basic human right[...]
Advocates of net neutrality, a position championed by the billionaire
Soros and by the U.N., argue governments must regulate private
censorship and bandwidth online to ensure it remains open and free.
Soros, a philanthropist known for supporting [very]
liberal causes, has articulated his belief in the need for greater U.S.
government regulation of the Internet." The Internet is good, therefore
it's a "basic human right." Therefore, all the people around the world
who work every second of every day to keep the Internet running must
continue to do so, or else they're violating our human rights. That
doesn't really sound enforcable. [In America, no; in
AmeriKa, "enforcement" is a piece of cake] Hey, maybe
Soros is just meddling in the Internet to shut up people who criticize
him and the ideas he's promoting? [UN
Internet agenda tied to George Soros]
* " NETFINGER" coined by Jim
Treacher
I
snipped this comment at the time La Rue released his "report," wherein
he claimed the internet was a human
right.

I wonder if this is something of a “category error”?
As a matter of policy, both the Canadian and U.S. governments
contributed money and effort to rural electrification, to
near-universal availability of telephones, and now to rural high-speed
internet.
At the same time, none of the existing human rights legislation that I
know of considers access to any of these a right.
Methinks we need a phrase, like the U.S. “pursuit of happiness”, which
sums up things which one may or may not chose to have, but which cannot
be frivolously denied to us… |

Of course in its simplest form, we know net neutrality is evil because
George Soros is funding the effort to make it happen.
