> you're not actually responding to anything I said
Projection to the highest degree. I've directly asked you a question four times here; you have never addressed it.
> literally operating a large ISP,
No wonder you can't smell the corruption and the mental pretzels don't bother you.
I'm not arguing about what the law did in 1996. I'm not even fully arguing what an ISP was or a telecommunications provider was in 1996. I'm just asking you to take the words as written in the law, take what an ISP functionally is today, and use an ounce of your own logic and reading comprehension (please!), see which of the two buckets it logically belongs in, and then tell me why.
> In short, an “information service” manipulates data, while a “telecommunications service” does not.
Please, tell me how an ISP is manipulating the information I'm sending outside of doing things to manage a telecommunications service. Please. I'm begging you.
