- espadrine 10y agoI doubt it would have caused as much of a fuss. The problem was that they picked popular low-bandwidth public-good informational websites (like Wikipedia, mostly text), and Facebook which isn't either. All US websites. The website selection was almost comical. No Google Translate, but ESPN, which is only relevant culturally in America... And there's also a problem related to having large companies harm local ISP markets, which only providing just the non-profit Wikipedia would have mostly avoided.
