I want to begin by stating a very well known fact: the right to access information is recognized by the United Nations (U.N.). Now, what most people think of when they say or hear that is that we are free to access it, that nobody has the right to prevent us from doing so. That is just about right. But what few people think that it’s not always governments that do not let people access information. There are cases in which people unknowingly prevent others to access information by not making it available for them in a form they can receive it. If you don’t get where I am going please bear with me for a while, you’ll soon understand.
