Net neutrality, put in simple terms, is defined as the Internet’s guiding principle. It preserves the right to free communication, free speech and free expression of thought on the Internet without any third party interruption. Net Neutrality means an Internet that enables and protects free speech. It means that ISPs should provide us with open networks and shouldn’t block or discriminate against any applications or content that ride over those networks.

For a long time now, there has been a huge debate about whether or not net neutrality should be banned. The open internet allows people to express their opinions freely. It allows activists to express opinions and it gives a platform for all those to express their ideas. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) just passed a vote to ban net neutrality and this opens a disgusting can of worms.

Although serious impact won’t happen immediately, companies like AT&T and Comcast will definitely show their hand in the world of internet. Despite there being more negative effects, there are some positive ones as well. Broadband companies like AT&T have already started offering its customers free streaming of DirecTV, a service owned by them.

Other service carriers like T Mobile is offering free streaming of app likes YouTube and Netflix. In the tech world, this process is known as zero rating and at one time, this was also known as the biggest violator of net neutrality. Now, with net neutrality being banned, more programs like this are in the very near future.

Now that the Internet is not going to be open anymore, serious issues are being raised. From confidentiality concerns to privacy rules, everything about this move is one that has not been accounted for. Banning free speech is a clear move of control and now, the main question is, what’s next?

SC Grants Relief to Paytm’s First Games, Stays Massive GST Notice

Published

StartupStories

The Supreme Court of India has granted interim relief to Paytm’s gaming arm, First Games, by staying proceedings on a ₹5,712 crore GST notice issued by the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI). The notice, sent in April 2025, demanded GST for the period January 2018 to March 2023, based on the department’s view that 28% GST should be levied on the total entry amount, rather than the 18% GST currently paid on platform fees.

First Games challenged the notice in the Supreme Court, which on May 23, 2025, ordered a stay on all further proceedings until a final decision is reached. The dispute is part of a broader industry-wide debate over the correct GST treatment for real money gaming platforms, with similar cases pending before the court. Following the stay, Paytm shares rose nearly 2% in early trading, reflecting investor optimism.

The Supreme Court’s order provides temporary relief to First Games and signals ongoing judicial scrutiny of GST demands across India’s online gaming sector.
