> What? The break the internet movement didn't mention that part? That censorship by ISPs was ok under net neutrality?
1) You are in favor of censorship without clear disclosure.
2) You believe its acceptable such censorship should be controlled by government granted near monopolies.

You are talking about a ruling that mentions as an unrelated aside about the editorial right of content curation being legal and that right being more powerful than Title II due to the existence of the First Amendment. However, if its exercised, you are required to clearly disclose it to consumers before they purchase from you.
Without Title II, that requirement to clearly disclose no longer exists with a clear history of case law.
So...I'm really uncertain why you feel a requirement to disclose censorship before a purchase is made was an unfair regulatory burden.
I'm glad you have made it clear you were being disingenuous about your earlier complaints about censorship publicly.
> That would be true of an ISP that offers subscribers a curated experience by blocking websites lying beyond a specified field of content (e.g., family friendly websites). It would also be true of an ISP that engages in other forms of editorial intervention, such as throttling of certain applications chosen by the ISP, or filtering of content into fast (and slow) lanes based on the ISP’s commercial interests. An ISP would need to make adequately clear its intention to provide “edited services” of that kind, so as to avoid giving consumers a mistaken impression that they would enjoy indiscriminate “access to all content available on the Internet, without the editorial intervention of their broadband provider,”
> It would not be enough under the Order, for instance, for “consumer permission” to be “buried in a service plan—the threats of consumer deception and confusion are simply too great.”
And now, you've legalized the "buried in a service plan" option. Congratulations.
