You Have No Inalienable Rights On The World Wide Web

only those granted by the United Nations...

According to The W3C's Ethical Web Principles,

“The web should also support human rights, dignity, and personal agency. We need to put internationally recognized human rights at the core of the web platform [UDHR]. We can reinforce this approach by promoting ethical thinking across the web industry.”

where UDHR is a reference to The United Nation's Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

But according to Iain Davis and Whitney Webb,

“Human rights are nothing like inalienable rights.

Inalienable rights, unlike human rights, are not bestowed upon us by any governing authority. Rather, they are innate to each of us. They are immutable. They are ours in equal measure. The only source of inalienable rights is Natural Law, or God’s Law.

No one—no government, no intergovernmental organisation, no human institution or human ruler—can ever legitimately claim the right to grant or deny our inalienable rights. Humanity can claim no collective authority to grant or deny the inalienable rights of any individual human being.

Beyond the preamble, the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) concerns itself exclusively with “human rights.” But asserting, as it does, that human rights are some sort of expression of inalienable rights is a fabrication—a lie.

Human rights, according to the UDHR, are created by certain human beings and are bestowed by those human beings upon other human beings. They are not inalienable rights or anything close to inalienable rights.”

It seems that, in order to assert your United Nations granted human rights, you must prove your identity according to UN sanctioned protocols and algorithms in order to prove your legal existence, and Article 29.3 of the UDHR states:

These [human] rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations.

So who says it’s your World Wide Web? Nobody does. It’s theirs.
