THE right to internet access or right to broadband or freedom to connect is the right of people to access the Internet in order to exercise and enjoy their rights to freedom of expression and opinion and other fundamental human rights that “states have a responsibility to ensure that Internet access is broadly available, and that states may not unreasonably restrict an individual’s access to the Internet.” In 2011, a United Nations report said that disconnecting people from the Internet is a human rights violation and against international law.
