I've never heard of anything more ridiculous in all my life!
This rights means you can sue in court if your broadband get get off or disabled. Say by your landlord or your hotel. I think it also mean that you can make your ISP liable when your speed is lower than the legal minimum. Because your lawful rights became violated.



The concept is comparable with other minimum access protections, e.g. air; water; food; lights; wage; granted by law. e.g. min wage law.

This law also means parents may be violating laws when they banned their own children from using Internet. Unless legislation provided these exceptions.

There had been laws in other parts of Europe that ensure each family or home can get Internet, I think that is also policy that provided a minimum standard of Internet access to all citizens FOC.

In red dot there is lots of famiLEE LEEgime's essential citizens' services shifted to e-Services, e.g. your Singpass & CPF etc etc. Too many. Therefore, you are very handicapped as a citizen here when you are not online. To a certain extend, it is discrimination and deprivation or bully when you are prevented from getting online. A legal protection for this rights is necessary.

One day, you may not be able to vote without getting online. Then your voting rights is forfeited when you got prevented to access Internet.

May be that is the case in Finland, I don't know.

As it is in red dot, your only realistic freedom of expression & free-speech is on Internet, where famiLEE LEEgime gets limited ability to stop you. If your access to Internet is taken away, your rights to free-speech and freedom of expression is also screwed.

Look at it this way Sam. This law assured your forum members a protection, that they can always come to your forum to get some free-speech. But we can fucking sue you when your SQL database fucked up and we can not read nor post.
