the point is that because your action take away a medium of communication it violates the international covenant on civil and political rights and is therefore a human rights violation

your licience to drive a car is not nor will it ever be a medium of communication

your right to a weapon is not a medium of communication

they are completely different in this context.

My car can be a medium and/or a form of communication. I can paint a message on it and drive around thus broadcasting my ideas. I can use it to deliver information or take me to a place where I can deliver communication. If I drive my car to a rally where I then speak in front of a crowd my car is no different than the internet, they are both tools used to to help me carry out my communication.

The right to bare arms is in the US constitution as is the right to vote, yet if you commit a felony both of those are stripped from you.

From my point of view having internet access is not a basic human right, it is a privilege.
