I see your point but the world has much greater problems right now and I'm not talking politics, or climate change I'm talking about poverty,abuse,war, disease,cancer, etc.

I’d like a beefier op, but here’s the list of it- The UN cited it as a basic human right, in 2011.
(source - https://www2.ohchr.org/english/bodies/h ... .27_en.pdf )
So, yes, it is a basic human right. But no, the government should not provide every person a laptop or phone- Instead, have internet hubs people can use, free of charge, which will have computers.

increasing access to fast speed internet would help reduce poverty. Also this can be done in tandem with other things. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/elizabet ... 91ed0829de
It would only cost 85 billion in federal subsidies to do what Warren plans.

How about a library instead? Homeless types can improve their prospects there, instead of having a smartphone that'll make them a target for robbery or will enable them to waste their day watching anime, porn, reading fanfiction, or whatever. It's also a burden in that they constantly need to find ways to "recharge" that phone for free.

I'm not saying that everyone follows one viewpoint would be extremely naive. No what I am saying is my cheerfulness stat actually went up when I banned the internet. Besides there are those out there you would suffer from withdrawal if they lost access to the internet. As for the irony in my former message almost everyone makes a hypocritical comment at one point or another just look at the world today.

I know people who could fix the code so your happiness stat goes down through the floor if you take away the internet. Your experiences in the game are not relevant.

I was saying it in a joking sense but I see your point this is not supposed to be in character I was just using it as an anecdote.
