The United Nations declared the Internet a basic human right in 2011!

The United Nations reported that disconnecting people from the internet is a violation of human rights and against international law. They strongly oppose countries from blocking information to quell political unrest.

It opposed France and Great Britain’s decision to block certain things from citizens due to copyright laws, too. However, many nations such as Syria and North Korea strongly censor information via internet. It is unclear how the UN will address countries who violate the new international law.
