Internet deregulation

I have no issue with this as long as some guidelines are followed:

1. ISPs and companies that actually implement that stuff must say so and are forbidden to actually refer to what they sell as an internet connection. I'm not sure what they could call it, but if you're not giving acces to the network as a whole, then you're lying by calling it an internet connection.

2. ISPs doing this become responsable for the content that goes through their pipes. Currently, to my knowledge, since ISPs act merely as carriers, they are not responsible for their users' actions. However, as soon as you start deciding what can and can't be accessed by your users and how they can do so, then you no longer act simply as a carrier, and whatever you do not block receives a form of implicit approval.

3. There has to be another ISP, independent of the one implementing filtering, offering unfiltered service of similar speed in the same area.

Hey, if some ISP thinks it can block everything "bad" on the net so as not to get sued into oblivion, and think people will pay for a crippled internet connection when they have other choices, then why not?

Jam it back in, in the dark.
