Yes it should be a basic human right.
But with that said, it shouldn't be a basic human expectation. There should always be simpler alternatives to basic daily needs, not everyone has access to the internet, nor does everyone even have the mentality to fully utilize modern technology.
Also, fuck touchscreens in cars. /rant
Car touch screens are the dumbest thing ever lol. "You can't use your phone behind the wheel, so we mounted this giant phone to your car!"
Yay lobbying! /s
I remember when the Tesla Model 3 was pretty new, there was a guy who got pulled over and filmed the interaction. The cop told him he needed to put away the iPad. He kinda chuckled, thinking the cop was joking. But the cop was serious. So he had to explain to the cop that the giant-ass screen was built into the car.
When the Model 3 was new the Model S had already been released for 5 years. Smells fishy
Model S has never been very common. Model 3 was not just cheaper but massively scaling up production so it’s quite plausible that was the first time that cop encountered one
Might’ve been the S, but I think the 3 has a bigger screen. I could be wrong. It was a while ago.
The right to access must necessarily include the right not to access. Freedom of religion is meaningless if you're not also free to reject religion. Freedom of speech is meaningless if you've no right to remain silent. etc.
Fuck algorithms and society getting raped by marketing manipulation, and then blaming the same people it manipulated and abused for the problems caused.
GOD - Government On Device...
I dunno. I'm on the fence with this. I don't feel that anyone has a right to misinformation.
That's up to the user to rub their brain cells together and decide.
Stupid people having access to other stupid people has got us; flat earthers, anti-vaxxers, "truthers", and worst of all, trumpers.
