As always the EFF is 100% right, that’s not their job and their position of power is really dangerous if they try to do it!
Isps don’t want to do this, but governments force them to.
I don’t know how many other countries are in a similar situation but in Germany ISPs do it themself and aren’t forced at all…
Title II them and call it good.
Things I want from an ISP:
That’s it. If they want to provide any more features, they need to be optional. If I want censorship, sell me a router or something that can filter content. But that should be a separate piece of equipment that competes with other similar devices.
Ethics aside, my ISP can’t even give me the speeds I’m paying for or a connection that doesn’t go down semi regularly. Who the hell would even think that they’re the ones to implement this from technical standpoint?
