- jerkstate 3y agowell, we certainly have pervasive censorship online now
- wtallis 3y agoBy ISPs? Most of the censorship that I've seen people complain about is done by social media website operators, not ISPs.
- s4mw1se 3y agoI have not seen proof ISPs are censoring anything, i’ve also not seen proof they are not. Just because we “Don’t see it” does not mean we should assume it’s not happening. Just because Social Media is worse at censorship does not mean ISPs don’t contribute.
- nostromo 3y agoBecause of Google and Facebook - not your ISP.
- rockskon 3y agoIn some jurisdictions, yes. A number of other jurisdictions have legislated their own Net Neutrality rules though and the issue is still a relatively hot topic in internet policy circles. So ISPs are waiting for all controversy around it to die down before more aggressively abusing their position to favor their own services and cripple that of competitors and anyone who refuses to pay them extra $$$ beyond what they already pay.
