    ISPs are to me like infrastructure. They are like roads or power lines. If you ask the ISPs to block malicious activity it’s like asking the electrical poweregrid to be responsible for stopping their electricity being used for illegal activity. Asking the ISPs to block malicious activity is like asking the road builders to be responsible for bankrobbers and murdere driving on the roads. It’s simply just ridiculous to put the responsibility like that.

      Then ISPs should be public corporations, until that happens then they’re not equivalent to pubic infrastructures.

        ISPs should definitely be owned by the public and regulated like a utility.
