Rejected petition Guaranteed freedom of communication

More details

People should have a guaranteed right to access the internet and mobile communication, especially during times of crisis.

The government should be denied the authority to restrict access to social media and mobile networks at any given time.

Communication is one of our most important assets, more so now than in any other period in history.

Legislation should be established to ensure that people are able to communicate freely at all times.

Freedom is key to the internet and to a modern, digital society, without freedom, we have nothing.
