Spanish Congress approves "digital decree" The "gag law" to control the Internet?
The Permanent #Commission of the #Congress has approved with the favorable votes of #PSOE, #PP and #Citizens, the Royal Decree-Law 14/2019 of October 31, of urgent measures for the #digital #administration. A tremendously controversial #rule, unprecedented in #Spanish #democracy and that is raising blisters in all areas, as some #lawyers and #activists believe that it is an unconstitutional rule that violates fundamental rights.
The so-called "#digitaldecree" will allow the #Government to assume (temporarily) the direct management of electronic communications networks and services in certain exceptional cases that may affect public order, public security and national security. In practice, the Government will be able to cut off communications and networks such as the Internet in all or part of the territory without a prior court order, alleging an alteration of 'public order'.
The approval entails the adaptation of section 6 of article 4 of the General Telecommunications Law, the wording of which will literally read as follows: "The Government, on an exceptional and transitory basis, may agree to the assumption by the General State Administration of the direct management or intervention of electronic communications networks and services in certain exceptional cases that may affect public order, public security and national security. This exceptional power [...] may affect any infrastructure, associated resource or element or level of the network or service that is necessary to preserve or restore public order, public security and national security.
