Dear all,<div><br></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">I agree with many opinions expressed here. In that context I'd like to bring up a recent example
from Armenia, when a life-sentenced person was allowed to have a personal blog
on the Internet and even had the opportunity to have his book published/printed.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US">On the other hand, I understand the approach,
when the Internet is regarded as an <b>enabling tool</b> to exercise human rights, such
as freedom of speech, access to information and knowledge, etc. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US"><br></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US">If Internet is simply determined as human right many
questions arise (at least to me). Such as, is it a human right to use Internet to disseminate propaganda,
hate speech, racism etc? </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US"><br></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US">Is it a human right to access inappropriate
content (such as child abuse) in countries, having weak legislations and not criminalizing such activities? </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">
<span lang="EN-US">Best,</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US">Narine Khachatryan</span></p>Media Education Center, Armenia</div><div><a href="http://www.mediaeducation.am">www.mediaeducation.am</a></div>
