Read the article. > If the companies that give IP Volume access to the rest of the internet were all to decide to stop doing so, the company could no longer operate on the internet. This is called de-peering, and it does occur very sporadically. > But it is highly controversial, says Guilmette. It flies in the face of the voluntary, decentralised structure of the internet. That is why the largest hub, the Amsterdam Internet Exchange, say they won’t do it. A spokesman for the exchange: „We are only a highway, we have nothing to do with the content. You surely can’t expect us to paternalistically review what such a party is hosting?”

  Like someone else said, it seems that AIE is trying to avoid higher charges in regard to implementing oversight measures. The oversight measures should have been there a long time ago. It's like youtube saying that they're simply "a highway" for video hosting. If it's moving through your platform, you have to be aware of what it is. There are police monitoring highways, there is extensive monitoring on youtube, so why is AIM pretending that the same rules don't apply?

    Do you have a stake in this article? Because from my point of view an account created 10 hours ago is rambling off technically incoherent straw-man on a tech focused forum. Its like saying the postman most open, read and understand every piece of mail before delivering it, and the police must search inside every car before it may drive on the road.

      Just because you don't agree with them (I don't happen to, either) doesn't mean they're being incoherent, rambling, or using a straw man. They are clearly responding topically and reasonably. Be polite.

  I can sympathize with the argument I guess, but isn't that exactly what IP Volume is also saying?
