> I do think Google has a legitimate interest in regulating use of it's services as means of distributing information

If so... do you think that your ISP also has a legitimate interest in regulating use of it's services as means of distributing information?



I think ISPs should be public utilities, so, no.


Perhaps the basic functions of the internet that Google provides like mail and basic document storage should be treated as public utilities as well


If that caused free speech restrictions to outlaw email service spam filters it would be like a utility hooking sewer into the fresh water supply.
