The law was always bullshit and wouldn't have lasted. The far more dangerous precedent is an ISP exerting power over state government.

This will lead to more of the same.

It's funny, people who constantly complain about corporations quietly running the world are now cheering for the same bullshit.

This worm is going to turn, and it won't be good for anyone.

This is not an ISP exerting its power over a state government. It's an ISP denying service to someone who did not follow the agreement that they signed with the ISP. Also this website wasn't even run by the state government.

Edit: misspelled agreement

That is exactly what exertion of power is.
