What are some "new" rights you'd like to see countries commit to? - eviltoast

I know some places are more progressive in this regard. But from the U.S., I’d like to see every person entitled to:

  • shelter
  • food
  • healthcare
  • education and higher education

(As an aside, not sure “right” is the best term here, I think of these more as commitments that society would make because we have abundance. One advantage of the word “right” is that a person is justified in expecting it - it’s not welfare/ a benefit / a privilege)

    Access to open source, end to end encrypted technology. Particularly for messaging/ communication.

      Seems like you might want to go broader than talking about a specific method or feature of technology. Maybe something like “right to private communication”?

        WhatsApp isn’t open source as far as I’m aware. Also weird seeing a plug for a Meta app on Lemmy…

          I’m not quite THAT hardcore, but if someone only has whatsapp… then apparently we’re back to calling eachother on the phone like cavemen

        Not opensource, not private, belongs to a company that is notorious for stealing and selling your data. They say it’s encrypted, also they request the rights to access what you type.
