Is the Internet a basic human right?

   I believe that the Internet is a basic human right.  So many people use it, and as long as you have access to a computer, why shouldn't you?  It isn't really a privilege, because as soon as your an adult, no one but the government can take it away.
   The government can take away your rights if you do something against the law.  On the Internet you could hack, and that is illegal.  You could end up in jail, and obviously they wouldn't give you a computer, just like they wouldn't give a murderer a knife or a gun.
   The Internet connects the world, and lets people share thongs with others.  We all have the right to free press, and taking away the Internet would be limiting the average person's right of free press.  Some people can't share their thoughts any other place but the Internet for whatever reason.
