Tim Berners Lee, The World Wide Web Inventor, Says Access To The Internet Should Be A Basic Human Right...

Sir Tim Berners Lee, the computer scientist widely credited with inventing the World Wide Web in 1989 says that access to the internet should be a basic human right.
A recent report shows there are billions of people, around four and a half billion, who can't get online and that government controls, surveillance and censorship are on the increase.
Tim I know you've got your own barrow to push but there are billions of people out there with no food or shelter, to my mind much more of a human right and necessity.
Let's get our priorities sorted...

    Food, shelter, water & communication are right up there on that list.
