You sound shill-ish by intentionally arguing a non-point.
The Government has and the right, granted by sheer power alone, to filter whatever it wants, whenever it wants. See every DNS take down ever. The wording of the regulation with regard to "lawful content" doesn't change that and has no real baring on the outcome for the average user. Why are you trying to argue otherwise? What possible logic is there?

Well that's the first time I've been called a shill...
It isn't a non point though, when sites begin disappearing for hosting or linking to content the government doesn't approve of I think you may feel differently. It's like the legal justification for assassinating American citizens, sure it most likely occurred prior, but legal justification for doing it doesn't bode well for the future.

And how do administrative regulations for ISPs equate to additional legal power to the government?
I also didn't call you a shill. I said you sounded like one because your point seems intentionally obtuse.
