I don't think ISPs really care about censorship as much as providing fast service to the most customers.

I also don't think that. ISPs don't want to deal with this stuff. Isn't net neutrality exactly to make this clear? That ISPs are not responsible for censorship and thus can't be fined by the government to enforce censorship?

If that is the framing its bullshit.

Maybe. Thanks for the discussion. I have to read more sources on that topic, like what an @anon posted here.

I realized I am missing some perspectives on that topic, like yours or that of ISPs :)

Most of the times, I agree with what the EFF is doing.

So my opinion is probably well summarized by this piece of the EFF.
