Please Help Save European Net Neutrality
,----[ Quote ]
| A few days ago I was ruminating on the recent on-the-
| spot conversion of the US FCC's Chairman to network
| neutrality. I pointed out there was a new site
| devoted to preserving the same in Europe, called EU
| Open Internet, which has now clocked up a respectable
| 2,700 signatures.
|
| Unfortunately, there is a specific threat to net
| neutrality in Europe, hidden away in the Telecoms
| Package.

Obamaâs Disappointing State Secrets Procedures
,----[ Quote ]
| After months of internal review, the Obama
| Administration today announced a new policy on the
| use of the state secrets privilege. The state secrets
| privilege traditionally allows the government to
| withdraw particular pieces of evidence from a court
| case on the grounds that the evidence would reveal
| sensitive classified information. Despite this
| limited purpose, it's been repeatedly misused by the
| Bush and now Obama administrations to try to throw
| important litigation out of court, and is badly in
| need of reform.

Net Neutrality to be curbed in the EU
,----[ Quote ]
| AS US REGULATORS consider new legislation to protect
| net neutrality, European citizens are set to have their
| internet freedoms significantly curbed.
|
| The debate on net neutrality revolves around whether
| telcoms firms should be allowed to intentionally speed
| up or slow down traffic based on which service or
| application is being used.
