Net neutrality: Net activism packs a punch: by Prasad Krishna — published Apr 19, 2015 — last modified May 09, 2015 09:02 AM — filed under: Freedom of Speech and Expression, Internet Governance, Chilling Effect, Censorship
For the first time in the history of internet campaigns in India, a protest movement has successfully changed the course of a debate without having to take to the streets. The net neutrality movement is being fought almost totally in the virtual world. Hashtag activism isn't new in India. In recent times, several big campaigns have been bolstered by the internet which helped mobilize mass support and kept people constantly updated on events. Pink Chaddi, Jan Lokpal and the Nirbhaya movements were some examples of successful on-the-ground campaigns that were galvanized by social media. But they still needed public action — dharnas, candlelight vigils and actual pink undies — to make a difference.
