Merge Right to Internet access article to this article?

I suggest that the existing Right to Internet access article should be merged into this article. There is considerable overlap between the two articles already and I don't see the need to maintain both. The "Right to Internet access" article would become a #REDIRECT to the "Digital rights" article. What do others think? -Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 13:49, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The following two comments were copied from Talk:Right to Internet access:

Oppose Right to Internet access and digital rights are different concepts. --SupernovaExplosion ^Talk 06:44, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Could you say a little more about the differences? I see the "Right to Internet access" as one of the rights included in the broader category of "Digital rights". Thus the "Right to Internet access" is more specific than "Digital rights", but not entirely different. -Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 13:24, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This merger proposal has failed to gain much support or opposition. Lets withdraw the proposal for now and revisit the issue sometime in the future. --Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 13:09, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A small bit of opinion has been snuck in:

+3% = MOST in this bit: Most Internet users (53%) felt that "the internet should never be regulated by any level of government anywhere".

-2% = Evenly split in this bit: Opinion was evenly split between Internet users who felt that “the internet is a safe place to express my opinions” (48%) and those who disagreed (49%).

Just take out the vague "most" bit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.91.120.57 (talk) 17:59, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Should we include more countries as examples for their internet laws? — Gracie15 (talk) 00:36, 7 February 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Evaluation: Overall, I think this article is concise and to the point, yet with the nature of this subject I think that it should be further expanded upon. Whether that means adding more information to the already published subtopics, adding additional subtopics, or merging wikipedia articles together. For example the pages "Digital Rights Management" and "Digital Rights Watch" with this page. I see room for elaboration especially under "Human Rights and the Internet" -- I don't see one paragraph being sufficient enough to cover a topic as nuanced and multi-faceted as the relationship between human rights and the internet. — Gracie15 (talk) 00:51, 8 February 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Reorganization and removed unsourced op-ed reference

Reorganized to make the article easier to skim, but plan to continue making it more concise and readable by summarizing quotes and synthesizing main points of various conferences.

Also did some copyediting on a paragraph below (which I removed from the article) in case someone feels strongly it should be put back in (I couldn't find the source):

According to an editorial in the journal La Civiltà Cattolica the Internet is a global public good that should be accessible to all and respectful of the rights of others. With repressive regimes restricting access to information and communications, democratic governments should work to guarantee access to the Internet and adopt general principles to ensure network use respects universal human rights. For example, the author advocates that the only online material to be censored should be child pornography and cyberterrorism and advocates a "Charter of Human Rights for the Internet."^{[citation needed]} Superb Owl (talk) 07:28, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
