Hmm, was it ever prohibited for e.g. some Twitter user to write your ISP an angry letter calling you a Nazi, so they shut your internet off to avoid the headache?
I've only heard about "net neutrality" in the context of bandwidth pricing. It's very different if companies are legally required to sell you internet(except maybe short of an actual crime).
- Bartweiss 9y agoThis is an interesting question, actually. I don't know of that being prohibited, but I've also never heard of it actually happening to anyone. Does anyone know of an example or a regulation against it?
