allow patients in mental hospitals access to the internet.

Created by A.T. on November 26, 2012

The United Nations human rights council has ruled that access to the internet is a basic human right.

Involuntary commitment or civil commitment is a legal process through which an individual with symptoms of severe mental illness is court-ordered into treatment in a hospital.

There is no internet access allowed for patients in hospitals, and I think that should be changed.

If someone commits a crime, they should be in jail, but if they somehow become involuntarily committed they should at least be allowed to use the internet.
