Net Neutrality and the Battle Over "Unlawful Content"

As net neutrality regulations expire, the hosts argue that the push for government regulation is actually driven by Silicon Valley giants like Google and Facebook. They warn that "neutrality" language often includes provisions allowing ISPs to block "unlawful content," which could be used as a tool for censorship against independent media like the "No Agenda" show.

Unlawful vs Illegal Content, Internet Censorship Risks

Curry highlights a specific phrase in proposed net neutrality rules: the prohibition of blocking "lawful" content. Using Black's Law Dictionary, he distinguishes between "illegal" (forbidden by law) and "unlawful" (not authorized by law). He warns that this terminology could allow the government to regulate "hate speech" or "bullying" as "unlawful" traffic.
