"Barbara van Schewick, Stanford Law Professor and Director of the Stanford Center for Internet and Society, has penned an in-depth analysis of the proposed news rules, their problems and how they can be fixed. In the examination, titled “Europe Is About to Adopt Bad Net Neutrality Rules. Here’s How to Fix Them,” Schewick explains:
Contrary to some claims, the proposal is weaker than network neutrality rules in the US. European citizens deserve the same free and open Internet that Americans can enjoy.
The good news is that members of the European Parliament will introduce amendments that would fix these problems. For the amendments to be adopted, the majority of the members (376 of the 751 members) need to vote for the amendments.
Schewick is encouraging people to contact their representatives in the European Parliament and share her post as a way of letting people know the danger of what could become law tomorrow."
