  Everybody seems to know that it's completely legal and not in violation
of any human rights that ISPs can freely choose how they filter content
and what part of the internet they will sell to who.

  Question: If this is indeed so, then why are the directives allowing this
being in the process of admission in the first place? What do they need the
directives for if the filtering is already legal and allowed?
