Except that the TOS generally allows them to do it.

Well then if the TOS says "you cannot use protocol X", you go find a
different ISP.

The protests are supposed to disrupt the government. It's *supposed* to
be OK, as long as it's peaceful.
Disrupting traffic gets you in trouble for disrupting traffic, not for
protesting.
Unfortunately, I think a great number of on-the-street level cops are
taking their clues from the high administrations and simply ignoring the
law and misusing their privileges.

And killing is very often legal. We call it hunting. Or being a soldier.
And, indeed, most of the guns not used for hunting or soldiering aren't
made for killing, but for intimidating.

Unfortunately, choice is rather limited in most places, due to
government interference.

Heh. I remember in just about every commissary and exchange there being
certain "top shelf" magazines available for purchase. Wouldn't change my
perception a bit ...
