    Said electronic device is a requirement to hold a job in my country and ensure I don’t end up homeless. It’s the same as owning a car here. If you have neither a phone or a reliable form of transport (meaning a car in this public transit-less shithole of a country), getting and holding a job is incredibly difficult.

    This is one of the reasons that the UN has considered access to the internet a basic human right as of the 2000s or so.

    Owning a phone and using the orphan crushing machine to make funny pictures on the internet are not equal.
