> Your internet provider can’t block or throttle websites. The open web stays open

That’s so false it’s not even funny. I live in Spain and there are a TON of blocked websites.

Blocked by court or state. Private ISPs can't block sites.

And this is true for almost all these legislations. They remove power from individuals and companies, while avoiding to limit EU and state power in any meaningful way.

    But the government is much more of an enemy to me than my ISP, not to mention I can switch ISPs but I can’t switch governments.

      Maybe use the time machine to move out of Franco's Spain?

        What percentage of citizens do you think support the blocking of websites for reasons of copyright? We have as much choice in the matter as we would have under Franco.

      But you can though.

      All countries in the EU are democratic plus there's freedom to move between them. You can definitely switch governments.
