Is digital access a basic human right?

A question that has been playing over in my mind for a fair old while has been if basic digital access is becoming a human right in the UK. I hear lots of talk and consideration about the digital divide in the UK but maybe one way to bridge this gap would be to consider making access to digital tools a legal right for all.
This is not to undermine the nature of the need for wider aspects for basic human rights globally — but there are often confused and overlooked aspects when considering the basic rights of humans in terms of cultures, society etc. I’ve done a little work on that in my current (and never-ending degree) I’ll write about that soon I think.
