I must retract a bit here.

My main gripe here was the subsequent "for example", omitted above,
as it makes an implicit but strong statement on the nature of those
rights - in particular hinting that there _is_ no such thing as
negative, non-collective right to Internet access, and because
"cultural rights" is too often used only as an excuse to restrict
individual rights. I would also change "are" to "could be", to
avoid making a strong statement about the existence of such rights.
