Civil society groups warn EU Digital Networks Act could weaken net neutrality

(DigWatch) A coalition of civil society organisations has raised concerns about the European Commission’s proposed Digital Networks Act, warning that it could weaken existing net neutrality protections. The signatories argue that the legislation could weaken net neutrality protections and alter the existing framework governing the open internet. According to the coalition, the proposal would incorporate the Open Internet Regulation into the broader Digital Networks Act while removing many of its explanatory provisions. The groups argue that this could reduce legal certainty and make net neutrality protections more vulnerable to reinterpretation. – Civil society groups warn EU Digital Networks Act could weaken net neutrality | Digital Watch Observatory
