    That would go against Net Neutrality wouldn't it? Making that illegal.

    They would have to unblock the site.

    Other countries do it, why can't a provider here?
    After all, when you sign their agreement it usually says something along the lines of 'terms are subject to change.'
    If they can block warez sites and nothing is said then there's nothing wrong with this.
    Whatever the reason they are the downfall of boxxy so they deserve to be blocked and erased from net history.

    That's in no way illegal. From what I read in the first few paragraphs it's simply an agreement, not a law.

    Everyone, write your ISP now and demand they block 4chan! If everyone blocks it, they'll lose traffic and shut the site down. It's ingenious!
