Hello Steve,
But I do not find “free flow if information” on the UN list of fundamental human rights. Where is that right stated as fundamental?
Just in case anyone missed robin repsonse to Steve (I did originally) Article 19 1. Everyone shall have the right to hold opinions without interference. 2. Everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of his choice. 3. The exercise of the rights provided for in paragraph 2 of this article carries with it special duties and responsibilities. It may therefore be subject to certain restrictions, but these shall only be such as are provided by law and are necessary: (a) For respect of the rights or reputations of others; (b) For the protection of national security or of public order (ordre public), or of public health or morals.
I can envisage in the future that computers will have rights once they become sentient – so no doubt they will want that right ☺
I always find it interesting when one uses such arguments. Until such time as machines are defined as human, this will not be a concern as these reight only apply to humans. See Bicentennial Man <http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0182789/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_38>, my personal favorite Robin Williams film. avri
