Descripción
Sumario:In this article, the author addresses the issue of net neutrality and its relationship with freedom of speech. Specifically, he studies if net neutrality policies that operate ex ante regulations really have an important and supportive role in the protection of freedom of speech on the internet. Thus, the aim is to review certain premises that support the current regulations that rule net neutrality and the other fundamental rights with which these regulations collide. In that way, the article gives a conceptual framework of the actors in cyberspace; later, it presents the arguments with which net neutrality has been connected with freedom of speech; and, finally, the author makes a critic about the importance that has been given to net neutrality in the protection of freedom of speech and the possible collisions with other fundamental rights that they may have.
