Merge this article with the Digital rights article?

Latest comment: 12 years ago5 comments2 people in discussion

I suggest that this article should be merged with the existing Digital rights article. There is considerable overlap between the two articles already and I don't see the need to maintain both. The "Right to Internet access" article would become a #REDIRECT to the "Digital rights" article. What do others think? Please discuss at Talk:Digital rights. -Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 13:47, 29 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Oppose Right to Internet access and digital rights are different concepts. --SupernovaExplosion ^Talk 06:44, 1 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Could you say a little more about the differences? I see the "Right to Internet access" as one of the rights included in the broader category of "Digital rights". Thus the "Right to Internet access" is more specific than "Digital rights", but not entirely different. -Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 13:24, 11 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

The comments above were copied to Talk:Digital rights. Please continue this discussion there. -Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 13:33, 11 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

No merge. Not much support or opposition for a marge. The merger proposal has been withdrawn for now. The question can be revisited in the future. --Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 13:30, 30 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Critiques of the human right to Internet access

Why is there an entire subsection about Cerf's opinions on the matter? The rest of the article doesn't do a very good job demonstrating his expertise in the matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.24.163.149 (talk) 08:00, 22 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

A decent question. Because the history of human rights on the Internet really starts earlier - with the Internet creation. The Internet was a US Government project. And thus human rights at least on the Internet in the United States belong to the citizens of the United States. A company operating with US bandwidth can not appropriate to itself powers over citizens because those powers were not and can not be delegated as such powers already rest with the people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Richard Katz (talk • contribs) 16:02, 19 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
