Net neutrality has become law in the Netherlands after a public outcry about the traffic discrimination plans of the major mobile providers.

The issue is no longer only known to an obscure minority, and this in a country where the mood is very strongly against relinquishing any more autonomy to the EU.

In other words: if the EU attempts to nullify Dutch net neutrality (this proposal would override Dutch law), there will likely be a considerable backlash.

The EU explicitly revoking our online freedom could be the final nail in the coffin for Dutch support for the EU.

Bullshit. The Netherlands is never ever stepping out of the EU (of which it was a founder btw), it would be economic suicide.

For everyone outside The Netherlands: Net neutrality was instated after the largest telecom provider wanted to count Whatsapp messages as SMS messages. This lead to public outcry.
