I haven't seen anyone else post anything along these lines, but doesn't this make it legal for the the government to ask/force/pay ISPs to hide sites (e.g. wikileaks, etc)? Maybe that is why politicians didn't really try to stop it?
- bo1024 9y agoThis is one of my biggest medium-to-long-term fears with net neutrality. I doubt that is explicitly in many politician's current game plan, but they will catch on to the possibilities sooner or later. It will start with ISP voluntary censorship of some high-profile clearly controversial sites, probably the Pirate Bay will be the first one to go. Then there will be a gradual creep (not sure what time scale to predict here), and eventually politicians will start reasoning that if ISPs are blocking sites anyway, we might as well order them to block certain others.
