Is The Internet A Human Right?

No. At least, that is what Vint Cerf, of TCP/IP, IEEE, and Google fame, decides in a NY Times op-ed piece. But the idea is subtler than the flame-bait headline; the decidedly less flashy "technology is an enabler of rights, not a right itself" expresses it more accurately. It's a difficult topic to address, not just because it's naturally inflammatory, but because it is difficult to pin down what exactly is meant by "right," and what is meant by "internet." Without defining terms, any assertion is meaningless. But a little thought seems to exonerate both Cerf's position and that of the people who take exception to it.
