As always the EFF is 100% right, that's not their job and their position of power is really dangerous if they try to do it!

Isps don't want to do this, but governments force them to.

I don't know how many other countries are in a similar situation but in Germany ISPs do it themself and aren't forced at all...

Ethics aside, my ISP can't even give me the speeds I'm paying for or a connection that doesn't go down semi regularly. Who the hell would even think that they're the ones to implement this from technical standpoint?

Things I want from an ISP:

fast speeds
consistent service
transparent billing
optional features like public IP routing

That's it. If they want to provide any more features, they need to be optional. If I want censorship, sell me a router or something that can filter content. But that should be a separate piece of equipment that competes with other similar devices.
