Mass censorship is so hot right now!
- Nextgrid 8y agoHonestly, this is the kind of censorship I would support (as long as there's a way to opt-out). Would you be bothered if your ISP or similar blocked access to malware command & control servers? This is basically the same - these analytics services are essentially spyware and the companies behind them should be held to the same standard as any spyware operators.
- rubbingalcohol 8y agoWe're talking about Google Analytics here. I'm not a fan and I don't use it, but I don't need the state deciding which web domains are kosher for whatever arcane reasons that can be devised.
- buzzerbetrayed 8y ago> Would you be bothered if your ISP or similar blocked access to malware command & control servers? Yes, that would bother me. I prefer to make my own choices about what I can and cannot access on the internet. Why would I want my ISP doing that for me? As far as implementing this on a national level goes - I would trust the government much less than I would trust my ISP with that kind of power. At least I can switch to another ISP if mine started abusing it.
