[Computerworlduk] Groups to monitor EU telcos restricting online access

Posted on


Digital civil liberties groups in Europe have launched an online platform asking citizens to « name and shame » telecommunications companies that impose internet access restrictions.

The aim is to gather information about internet providers that are « violating online freedom » according to advocacy group La Quadrature du Net. Large telecom providers want to « control what you do online, » the organization claims. « They want to block and throttle some of your communications, and charge you to use certain online services, content and applications. »
