Internet has been a veritable tool in our day to day activities with most users accessing the internet with their mobile devices for different purposes such as work, research, for communication and other uses. The increase in the use of internet has brought about citizens of nations getting vital information about what goes on both in their country and other parts of the world.

There have been cases of some countries denying or limiting it citizen access to internet for one reason or the other such as in Algeria where there was internet shutdown to stop students from cheating during exams. In light of this, the United Nations Human Rights Council has passed a non-binding resolution against countries that deliberately limit their citizen’s internet access. The resolution was opposed by countries such as China, Russia and Saudi Arabia government.

The resolution document has a specific content that seem not to go down well with opposing countries and it states:

Condemns unequivocally measures to intentionally prevent or disrupt access to or dissemination of information online in violation of international human rights and calls on all States to refrain from and cease such measure.

Countries [should] reserve the right to block the internet or some of its content. Sometimes to stem the tide of 'corrupting' western influence.
