Internet Privilege & The Lack Of It!

Today, most of us in the developed and developing countries have some access to the Internet. Be it via Dial Up, Broadband or DSL connection. In some developed and developing countries there is a tendency for governments,to curtail certain web sites they feel does not auger well for their political or citizen's moral values.

Others curtail Internet access if they feel that information transmitted from within does not support the State's expectations politically or socially, so they curtail access to certain web sites, online Bloggers, and anyone who is deemed to be a political problem.

Internet Access Limitations:

In some countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and The Caribbean, governments have a major say in who accesses the Internet. They even advise I.S.P.'s prevent access to certain citizens, and call on I.S.P.'s provide information about consumers/subscribers that the state wants to penalize for surfing the Internet, or broadcasting anything deemed Politically Insensitive to the outside world Online.


No Electricity Means No Internet Access:

In some African , Asian, Latin American, and Caribbean countries, electricity is limited in certain interior regions. Thus making the Radio, Pure Drinking Water and Sewerage disposal and supplies null and void.

Where their is no Internet access that people can afford, the population is left in the dark educationally, and Information about Global affairs and concerns. The Illiterate and Ignorant is vulnerable to Fundamentalist teachings and doctrines, and Mass Indoctrination by the State and Religious organizations too.

U.N.E.S.C.O and Developed Countries MUST Help Technologically:

It is the responsibility of all developed countries to share or provide fiber optic technology, and other related technology to countries that need or require it cheaply. So that at least, the basic services of Electricity, Radio, and Internet access can be established, and encouraged too.

In countries that decree for the arrest and imprisonment of Bloggers, Journalists, and Dissenters from within. MUST be called out, brought before the International Community, and be EMBARRASSED, for these actions against Civil & Human Rights.

And it is also the responsibility of all Internet Users, to constantly Monitor Online for such violations of Internet Freedoms like File Sharing between Users online, Blogging, Video Conferencing Online, and Surfing wherever the user wants to.
