Site ‘names and shames’ operators restricting Internet access
Two civil society organisations have launched a website on which users can ‘name and shame’ ISPs restricting access to sites and services. The website, which began on 22 September 2011, permits users to report ‘net neutrality violations’, such as denial of use of VoIP services, and blocking or throttling access to streaming services. The founding organisations, La Quadrature du Net and Bits of Freedom, say they will submit reports of net neutrality violations to national and EU regulatory authorities.
