  Every company should be (and is) forced to submit to basic human rights
which include, among others, freedom of information. No company has the
right to actively censor information from its clients.

  An ISP blocking part of the internet would be active censorship. They
are creating measures to deliberately block certain IP packets and not
others.

  Your slippery slope argument is rather hilarious.

  What do car engines have to do with freedom of information and censorship?
