"Barbara van Schewick, a law professor at Stanford and a director at the school's Center for Internet and Society, has criticised the exception as being "too broad." The Center has also published an open letter signed by more than 30 internet startups, including Netflix, Reddit and Vimeo, as well as investors and thought leaders including World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee, which cites almost identical concerns. The group, and also van Schewick, believe three other aspects of the law require further clarification; zero-rating, class-based traffic management and "impending" traffic congestion. They urged the European Parliament to make these changes, but it seems their efforts have been in vain."
