That'd be pretty difficult to do since a shitload of traffic is encrypted at this point. I mean, a significant portion of the 'right-wing' population now runs with a VPN for safety reasons. That's encrypted traffic for the most part out of major server hubs. Hell, we're creating out own friction by doing so.
... and I think ISPs acting that way could easily be legislated against. Hopefully it won't need to come to that, but I wouldn't be surprised.
