The Second Room has decided to be an exception to net neutrality from the telecommunications Act. Last week was the exception added, after the Labour party the proposal of the SGP had inadvertently supported.
A Kamermeerderheid of 76 seats, consisting of PvdA, GroenLinks, D66, PVV and the Party for the Animals, agreed to a stability and growth pact for net neutrality from the telecommunications Act. The VVD, CDA, ChristenUnie, SP and SGP wanted it to be the exception to maintain. Last week was the exception properly adopted, when the Labor Party accidentally an amendment of the SGP supported. Via a roundabout route – by an amendment at a meeting about an unrelated law to submit – is this exception, so removed again.
The exception was that internet service providers on idealistic grounds, sites were allowed to continue to block, although that or with the user’s consent had to be done and not had to be referred to the isp to favour. Also were only allowed providers who have already done this except continue to make. That went according to D66 in direct opposition to the principle of net neutrality, which means that providers of certain services, not permitted to tariferen, delay or otherwise hinder.
Providers such as Kliksafe offer a filtered internet as a service, with ‘dangerous’ content is not displayed. It is unclear whether such providers may continue to exist, now the SGP-proposal from the telecommunications Act will be met. The SGP said to fear for the future of such providers.
Last week was the new telecommunications Act, all adopted. Also, the PvdA supported the law, despite his stemfout. The party was already planning for that error via a detour to turn back. The new telecommunications law also contains stricter rules for the use of certain cookies; users must give permission for the placing of cookies, which are intended to conduct in the future. Also may providers the behavior of their customers through deep packet inspection to follow.
