ISPs can only censor sites by selecting specific IP addresses to block. The problem is, most Web sites share IP addresses, so blocking one site would block many, possibly unrelated, sites

THEY'RE TRYING TO BLOCK OUR PORN!!!

If you don't know what net neutrality is, it's best you learn now. As it is becoming a greater issue and potential threat during these times.

Was that court federal or civil?
Cause we can still bring up countless civil class action lawsuits against them if they try and pull anything HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE on their users. Or even better: boycott and use their competition.

Sadly depending on where you live, you're screwed with monopolization of bandwidth services. But hell, I'd go back to dial up if it meant *** over a company that would try and control what you're able to do and see online.

As I've said before when this issue arose, I really don't see censorship of the internet happening, at least not in the USA. Yes it can happen, but that doesn't mean it will. The internet as we know it (the free sharing of information) has become a landslide, and just like it's geological counterpart, it's all but impossible to stop it once it gets going.

Is this a serious issue? Yes. Should we just ignore it or brush it off as impossible? Definitely not. Is it likely to happen? I personally don't believe so.

We saw where the greed of corporations got us so far.
Who knows what'll happen when that greed starts spreading to the internet service providers like a venereal disease.
But for now, the best thing we can do is stay informed and use the power of choice to our advantage.

I'd sooner go without the internet, than go back to dialup.

We so rarely agree, but I agree 1,000,000,000% with this.

On the subject of Dial up + Porn..

As far as I'm concerned all the data and power lines should be public property, and companies would have to pay the public to run services on those lines, with the unlimited bandwidth potential of fiber, it's possible. That would reduce service monopolies, on data and power. (hopefully) at the same time they should really improve our roads overall and power infastructure, they could do it now, use the unemployeed people, use the funds that were being used on unemployment. Hell the government would get money back after taxing their incomes...

Probably one of the most intelligent ideas I've ever seen you propose.
