Vote on internet filtering Sorry for jumping in in Canada, but since you were in Brussels last month, I just wanted to say great amendments to the Telecoms Package might get tabled: INTERNET FILTERING Member States shall ensure that no technology may be mandated by competent authorities which would facilitate surveillance of Internet users, such as technologies that monitor actions of the user and/or interfere with operation of the users network activity for the benefit of a third party (so called filtering). ACCESS TO CONTENT, SERVICES AND APPLICATIONS Member States shall ensure that any restrictions to users rights to access content, services and applications, if they are necessary, shall be implemented by appropriate measures, in accordance with the principles of proportionality, effectiveness and dissuasiveness. These measures shall not have the effect to hinder the development of the information society, in compliance with the Directive on Electronic commerce (2000/31/EC), and shall not conflict with citizens fundamental rights, including the right to privacy and the right to due process.
