Once you hit the IX level you reach the ethical question of should the internet inherently be an equal platform regardless of content. this involves child pornography, terrorism, etc. very very bad things. My personal stance (as I said above) is that an IX shouldn't discriminate traffic. An ISP downstream could block cp and terrorism and whatnot, by the law of the country they operate in, their own ethical beliefs, or whatever. I would also argue that google shouldn't discriminate content, but that is its own slippery slope. Here in the US, Google blocks sites in DMCA disputes, sites in FBI takedown disputes, etc.
