India's Supreme Court rules internet access a fundamental right

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

India's Supreme Court has declared that access to the internet is a fundamental right that applies to all age groups, including children. The ruling affirms that young people have a constitutional entitlement to use the internet, placing connectivity within the scope of fundamental rights protections. The decision is being discussed for its potential implications for shutdowns, digital access policy and children's rights across India.

Why now: A constitutional court elevating internet access to a fundamental right has broad implications for policy, censorship and digital inclusion.
