ENC: The European Court of Justice found that preemptive internet filtering violated the fundamental rights of the ISP and its customers.
For believers in a free and open Internet, yesterday brought an extraordinarily significant reason to give thanks: The European Union's highest court -- the European Court of Justice -- ruled that Internet filtering is a violation of fundamental rights. The ECJ reversed a horribly misguided Belgian court decision that mandated China-style user surveillance by ISPs. This is a dramatically consequential decision that establishes a new baseline for Internet freedom that now protects the nearly 500 million individuals who live in the member states of the EU. <http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/11/european-high-court-rejects -internet-traffic-filtering-as-violation-of-fundamental-rights.ars?utm_sourc e=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+arstechnica%2Findex+%28Ars +Technica+-+Featured+Content%29> Descrição: https://s-external.ak.fbcdn.net/safe_image.php?d=AQCB1W3SAjA-XG5-&w=90&h=90& url=http%3A%2F%2Fstatic.arstechnica.net%2Fbrief_icons_new%2Ftech-policy-brie f.png <http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/11/european-high-court-rejects -internet-traffic-filtering-as-violation-of-fundamental-rights.ars?utm_sourc e=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+arstechnica%2Findex+%28Ars +Technica+-+Featured+Content%29> European high court rejects Internet traffic filtering as violation of fundamental rights arstechnica.com Vanda Scartezini Polo Consultores Associados IT Trend Alameda Santos 1470 1407,8 01418-903 São Paulo,SP, Brasil Tel + 5511 3266.6253 Mob + 55118181.1464
