Government loves when we declare something a right. It gives them the power to regulate it.

So now the government gets to make laws about isp records retention, anonymous usage, etc. I mean it's a right after all.

Also since it's a right, it must also be fair. No one person can have faster internet speeds than another; with the exception of government bodies of course.

If my upload speed is 128k and your upload speed is 5MB, well that's not fair as you can upload you political videos quicker and to more websites than I can in a given day, etc.
