[ITNews] European Parliament votes in favour of internet freedom

Posted on


The European Parliament has decided that ISPs and regulators, such as Ofcom in the UK, cannot restrict individuals’ access to the internet. […]

Jérémie Zimmermann, co-founder of La Quadrature du Net, described it as a “victory”.

« A formidable campaign from the citizens put the issues of freedoms on the internet at the center of the debates of the Telecoms Package,” he said.

“The massive re-adoption of amendment 138/46 rather than the softer compromise negotiated by rapporteur Trautmann with the Council is an even stronger statement,” he concluded.
