It is not an ISPs job to analyze traffic patterns and attempt to stop the bad ones. Thats like saying its the job of the road crews to stop speeders

- zelon88 3y agoThat is terrifying. Let Google, Amazon, and Apple decide who gets to use the internet and who gets put into a list. That is way worse than giving Google the W3C. That is literally just handing them the internet and making everybody else on it subservient to Google.
