    Your ISP should have no insight in to your traffic at all. Therefore unable to make any judgement on what traffic to block and what not to block. With the exception of volume of traffic and to where it is going.

      I remember getting a warning years ago from an ISP I don’t use anymore that my service would be cut off if I downloaded a pirate torrent again. Why the fuck were they paying attention to what I was doing? Even if it was piracy, it was none of their fucking business and they wouldn’t be implicated. I’ve used a VPN ever since.

        You’re ISP didn’t care. The production companies are the ones finding out your IP address. Your ISP is just passing the message along.

          My ISP made me take a push-poll “quiz” before they let me back on.

          They’re not innocent in this. They’re complicit. Often because they’re the same damn company as some media zaibatsu.

      Although I do agree they should have no insight, I’d rather the insight they currently have be used to actually block sites from bad actors than just spying on you to most likely sell your data.
