Though of course the history of a Canadian telco doesn't tell us anything useful about the state of laws in the US either way. | |

The article states that there were already laws that made this illegal. Which goes to my original point, if there are already laws that will be violates, how are more laws going to remedy anything. | |
| Nov 28, 2017 at 21:21 | comment | added | 200_success | @FrankCedeno This is an example of censorship implemented by an ISP, exactly as requested in the question. The whole point of net neutrality is that ISPs should be forbidden from disfavouring any specific source of Internet traffic because it's unfair to the subscriber and the publisher. | |
