It's almost like the purpose of an ISP is to transmit internet traffic to the internet for you--not to filter traffic, block certain ports, lie about DNS responses, or otherwise have anything to do with the actual content of your communications.

It's definitely a Good Thing that technical measures are rendering this garbage unworkable.
