So far common carriers and cable companies haven’t tried to turn off internet connectivity for people running sites that people object to. This is precisely what I meant.

Well, so far we haven't seen that, at least I'm not aware of it.

If you plan for it in advance it's pretty simple to have a mirror site that can go online when the primary goes down. So if Comcast shut down all internet connectivity for a company in California that was self-hosting "BadSIte.com", they could be back up in under an hour from a mirror site in Mexico.

Isn't 8chan run out of the Philippines? I imagine it's pretty hard to get them to do what some angry lady in Washington D.C. thinks they should do.

The ‘China’ model for internet censorship is alive and well there. Only a matter of time before it’s fully implemented here.

They’ll start with ‘disreputable’ sites like 8chan and work their way up.

FR is on the list somewhere...
