People talking about this are approaching it the wrong way.
IMO the problem with kiwi farms isn't that they're far Right. A far Left forum should (and probably would) face the same consequences if it behaved the same way; it's being abusive. Spammers get kicked off the internet for the same reason. Don't abuse the network and you'll be allowed to say pretty much whatever you want.

This violates a few assumptions about "end to end" and the network as a dumb carrier, but in reality this is nothing new. ISPs have taken it upon themselves to enforce copyright law at the packet level as well. The net will become a safer, more pleasant place in spite of the network oldbies who whinge about "muh end to end" and "muh freeze peach online".

This is a horrifying proposition and would set a dangerous precedent. ISPs already have a history of over-reaching and acting in bad faith. Do you really want to live in a world where no one in states like Texas can access healthcare resources (e.g., abortion) because someone in government or at the ISP decided that material was unsafe or unpleasant? People tend to forget that granting broad powers for something they support means it can be used for something they don't support down the line.
