...upon request, on a per-customer basis.

Other ISPs already block websites at customer request, for a fee. The news is that they are going to block these websites for customers for free.


So it will help network administrators & parents censor Twitter to protests censorship of Twitter?


Good the Militias in Idaho will not be able to share info as easily. This is a good thing.


I do applaud Twitter and Facebook for blocking dangerous rhetoric.

I also applaud this ISP for blocking Twitter and Facebook, but not because they blocked Trump. Both platforms are a cesspool of misinformation, echo chambers, self esteem issues in children, mental manipulation and many other problems. Good riddance.

Please sign me up for this blocker service.
