It doesn't make sense to treat websites as utilities. Net neutrality can't be applied to websites, it would make most basic spam filtering infeasible and blow up operational costs

You’re right. I was wrong. There is a big difference between websites and ISPs, and in my eagerness to respond I skipped that basic understanding.

I feel like their should be basic policing of the most horrific things, e.g. child porn. But you’re right, it’s impossible to filter everything out in a timely manner by websites.
