About ideals and philosophies - they only matter when pushed to their limits. Free speech only matters when the said speech is disagreeable, ISP power only matters when the ISP disagrees with a website.
Yes - we all approve of the ISP's action, but this instance was in our favor. Will the next be against? Power begets corruption.

How about "one of the previous"??? https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2018/03/07/comcast-xfinity-paypal-net-neutrality/ https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2018/03/07/comcast-xfinity-... https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20080213/133855251.shtml https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20080213/133855251.shtml Banhof's stance is that they do not even want the capability to block websites. This is something I wholeheartedly agree with. It certainly means some speech with which I strongly disagree is protected as well as speech with which I do agree. ISPs should _not_ have this kind of power. Banhof do not want it, but since they're being forced into acquiring and using that capability, using it to protest against it seems eminently reasonable.
