and ISPs are not prohibited by any law from blackholing encrypted traffic in the name of combatting CSAM and hate speech to make the internet safer and more inclusive for everyone
would you be cool with it if they did that?
- joshuamorton 4y agoI think that does violate common carrier statues. But even if it didn't, such an ISP would immediately go out of business since like 90+% of web traffic is encrypted. But yeah like if an ISP did that, if be fine with that because multiple ISPs serve my area so I'd pick a different one. Insofar as there are people who only have access to one ISP, I think the common carrier statues apply. (And actually there are ISPs that advertise filtered dns resolvers for that apply even stricter content filtering, and I think that's fine. I just choose not to use those) But Twitter isn't a monopoly in any sense. It's one of the smaller social media sites, and even if you try to exclude Facebook from twitters niche, TikTok, truth.social, and others are similar enough. As has been clearly demonstrated by trump's choice to not return to Twitter.
