WORLD WORLDWIDE EU care2petitions News Journal Update - This dangerous proposal could be catastrophic for EU internet users

 

Everyone deserves access to a free and open internet. Sign on to tell EU Parliament: Network fees hurt internet users      Sign Now      Dear friends,   Have you heard? Right now, a proposal is being considered in the EU that would impose a certain dangerous type of internet platforms fees — effectively allowing telecom companies to discriminate among consumers like you based on your level of data traffic.   This is directly agains the values behind the EU's regulation on net neutrality, which has ensured internet users in Europe have access to a free and open internet without the interference of service providers since 2015! The proposal also runs the risk of leaving consumers at risk of higher prices, slower speeds, and the restriction of available content online.   The proposal essentially asks that internet service providers be paid twice for the same provided services — once by online platforms and once by the households paying for internet services. This is ridiculous and unfair.   We have to send a clear message to the EU Parliament that we stand against network fees. Sign on if you agree! Thank you, Lauren Care2 Petitions Team P.S. A new proposal being considered by the EU could leave people with slower internet speeds, higher prices, and restriction from certain content. Sign the petition.      Sign Now
