Are you a fan of Netflix, HBO or YouTube platforms? The country will go back into lockdown due to the high number of COVID-19 cases. The closure will be similar to that of March 2020, but with many more exceptions.
According to the Government Decree, platforms such as Netflix, HBO or YouTube can be suspended or limited during the lockdown period.
Netflix, HBO or YouTube may be turned off during the lockdown
Communications operators may need to restrict platforms such as Netflix, HBO, or YouTube during this lockdown period.
The hypothesis is provided for in the Government Decree, read by the TSF, which operationalizes the different measures to implement the new confinement, in an article that did not exist in the first states of emergency, which is also more strict (with more people at home ) in March and April 2020.
According to the information, there should be a priority for essential services. The document establishes that electronic communications companies must give priority to clients considered priority.
As an example, the services and bodies of the Ministry of Health and the entities that provide health care integrated into the network of the National Health Service, but also to the Integrated System of Emergency and Security Networks of Portugal (SIRESP), Ministry of Internal Administration, National Emergency Authority and Civil Protection (ANEPC), Armed Forces, police, support services for the operation of the Presidency of the Republic, the Assembly of the Republic and the Government, reveals the TSF.
In addition to these, the support services for the Presidency of the Republic, the Assembly of the Republic and the Government are also on the priority list, in addition to Social Security, Citizen Card services, schools and the Electronic Magazine of the Republic.
In this scenario, the hypothesis arises of “limiting or inhibiting certain functionalities, namely, non-linear audiovisual services”, such as, for example, Netflix, HBO or YouTube.
