India's Supreme Court declares internet access a fundamental right

Original: Internet access a fundamental right for all age groups – India's Supreme Court

India's Supreme Court has ruled that internet access is a fundamental right, applying to children and people of all age groups. The judgment means the state must respect citizens' ability to access the internet as part of constitutionally protected rights, with reports highlighting its particular significance for children's education and participation in public life.

Why now: The ruling is a significant legal precedent on digital rights that could affect policy on internet shutdowns and access restrictions in India.
