The Chronicle of Higher Education: Internet Access as a Human Right

Description

For Dr. Merten Reglitz, Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Birmingham, the Internet has become a crucible for exercising a broader range of rights and freedoms to such an extent that Internet access should, itself, be considered an indispensable human right. “The Internet is necessary for having adequate opportunities to exercise our human rights in the digital age,” he argues. Dr. Reglitz is the author of "Internet Access as a Human Right", a book forthcoming from Cambridge University Press in 2024.
