Freedom of information

 Cognitive liberty includes universal free access to information and ideas around the world. Everyone has the right to information. Everyone has the right to ideas. The right to know, to question, to think, and to form conclusions is an individual right, not a collective or familial one. Every individual person, everywhere around the world, deserves the right to freely receive information and ideas, and disseminate information and ideas. Technological innovations like the printing press and the internet have improved this, but are still not accessible to everyone, and are subject to restriction and censorship. Every individual deserves free access to information and communication, without the approval of their families, their governments, or anyone else purporting to know what is best for them.
