Today, a key element of the openness that underpins the Web and the broader Internet is under threat. I’m talking about ‘net neutrality’ – the principle that each ‘packet’ of data must be treated equally by the network. In practice, this means that there should be no censorship. It also means that there should be no restrictions based on economic motivations. Maintaining this net neutrality is critical for the future of the Web and the future of human rights, innovation and progress.
