It feels dirty to agree with an ISP on something. But even the worst corporations are on the right side of something from time to time I suppose.

    But internet is a service provided by a private company that’s not affiliated with the government. Free speech only applies to government actions.

        There is nothing in law to recognize the internet as a “public place”. Freedom of speech literally only protects your speech from governmental censorship. Simply does not apply online, no matter how much you want it to.
