It feels dirty to agree with an ISP on something. But even the worst corporations are on the right side of something from time to time I suppose.

Internet shutoffs should require a court order. Not some emails that are "this person did a bad 🥺🥺🥺 no proof but can you please take our word for it 🥺🥺🥺🥺"

Internet shutoffs shouldn't be a thing, outside of non-payment or legitimate abuse. If I do something illegal, they should have to sue me, not shut off my internet.

Yeah, they don't disconnect a criminals phone service because they committed a crime and made a phone call. It makes no damned sense.

Actually, that's been done several times over the decades. As well as banning computer access. The guy caught hacking into the fbi gets his mouse and keyboard taken away.
