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 access to the internet is a fundamental right, applying to all age groups including children. The judgment means the state cannot arbitrarily deny people online access, and it adds India to a growing list of countries where connectivity is treated as constitutionally protected. Commenters are weighing the ruling's implications for shutdowns, free speech and digital inclusion.

Why now: A major court ruling on digital rights has broad implications for internet shutdowns and free expression in India.
