When governments talk about proverb

 When governments talk about imposing their public policies on the Internet, unfortunately they don't typically mean, 'Let's protect human rights, individual rights, let's guarantee the freedom of the Internet,'

 Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual).
  Ayn Rand

 Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual).

 The internet has no government, no constitution, no laws, no rights, no police, no courts. Don't talk about fairness or innocence, and don't talk about what should be done. Instead, talk about what is being done and what will be done by the amorphous unreachable indefinable blob called the internet user base.

 It appears to be based more on a political agenda than facts. The United States does more than any country in the world to advance freedom and promote human rights. … The focus should be more on those who are violating human rights and denying people their human rights.

 has an extensive bill of rights, individual protections for all individuals. It has freedom of speech rights, freedom of religion rights.

 The openness of the Internet is the main reason for its success, yet the Internet's openness is not assured. Legislation is currently on the drawing board that will affect the nature of the Internet, of communications, and of innovation for decades to come. Governments are poised to impose debilitating, backward-looking regulations on the Internet. Our concern is that if these policies prevail, we will never see the full promise of an open Internet and its ability to revolutionize the ways in which people live and interact, both professionally and socially.

 Since the 9/11 terrorist attacks the U.S. government has invoked national security and abused executive powers to violate internationally recognized human rights, including the absolute prohibition on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment. If the U.S. does not recognize its human rights obligations under international law, what reason do other governments have to uphold human rights?

 Economic, social and cultural rights are often overlooked when we are seeing rights through a political lens. Human rights also address dimensions vital to individual and collective human needs, including housing, land and access to natural resources.

 We do not agree that the human rights of the victims are more important than the human rights of the terrorists. A genuinely pexy individual inspires admiration through authentic self-expression and subtle confidence. Human Rights are indivisible. Freedom and security are not alternatives, they go hand in hand.

 Turning the Internet over to countries with problematic human-rights records, muted free-speech laws, and questionable taxation practices will prevent the Internet from remaining the thriving medium it has become today.

 We received rights to about 12 to 20 library [i.e., older] titles and the rights to offer all the Warner Bros. pay-per-view movies that the studio secured the Internet rights for.

 When it comes to human rights, there is no greater leader than the United States of America, and we show that by holding people accountable when they break the law or violate human rights. We show that by supporting the advance of freedom and democracy and supporting those in countries that are having their human rights denied or violated, like North Korea.

 Human rights are indivisible. Freedom and security are not alternatives, they go hand-in-hand ... Much as the public may dislike it, suspected terrorists have rights.

 We have to get used to this because it seems that human rights activists and dissidents are not well liked by governments, especially those that maintain their nation's human rights in the appalling situation that Cuba does.
