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.
