[Doomonkey]

it isn't now but i bet you if ISP start making you pay for sites it'll become illegal

It wouldn't be illegal, it would just probably void the terms of service and they would cut Internet to your house and probably fine you.

Letting an isp block a website sould be unconstitutional.
Its taking away our freedoms.

Life, liberty, and accessing information through a privatized medium that you do not own.

They patented it to prevent people from using it, because they knew it would completely suck and ruin all the games!

Or to get free money if anyone attempts to use it. Cause they can be like "hey, that's our patent right there. give"

You are paying money to have a service provided to you. Your provider determines what is actually included with these services.

all of the users in blockland forums have no understanding of how the government works.

how is a private enterprise determining how it wants its users to use its service unconstitutional?

[Oasis]

I'd laugh if anything happens, and I'd cry uncontrollably while laughing if Google announced a nationwide internet provider to save the U.S. world.

Life, liberty, and accessing information through a privatized medium that you do not own.

The internet is a massive entity that can be accessed anywhere by anyone. It can be controlled by a single group because of how vast it is. It is like the ocean, you might have claims to a certain part of the ocean. However it is impossible to dominate all of it. The ISPs should only control the ability to access the web and nothing more. Giving the power to block certain things would be like Fed EX denying Singapore shipping access to ocean and other ports just because they are the sole shipping company in the area.
