4chan is a shithole, but if Verizon would block it, then who knows what ELSE they'd block?

[QUOTE=Foda;20099583]that's not the point. verizon has no right to censor the internet. just because /b is a shithole does not mean all the other boards are.[/QUOTE]

While I support net neutrality, I will say that any company has the right to do whatever they want with their service.

And if it's shit like censoring sites, fuck them, they'll lose customers and pay the price.

By this example, you could say that I don't support net neutrality, but that would lead to easy monopolies. Hasn't happened yet, though, so we're safe for now.

Well, they're only censoring their "gateway" to the internet. They're making a list of sites that can't be accessed with their service, which they have full control of. They have every right to do it, but they're going to lose customers.

When did not allowing access to something not count as censoring?

Clearly I did a poor job of conveying my point. It's obviously censorship, but they can only do it with their service. I was more so arguing against Foda's claim that it wasn't moral to censor the internet, when in fact, it only affects Verizon's gateway to the internet. They have every right to do what they're doing, even if it is ridiculous and silly. I apologize for giving you the opportunity to misconstrue what I said.
