I don’t see any way for that to work out.

Your ISP is not responsible for ensuring that the connection they give you works to access any particular sites (see, for example, all the sites that already implement geo-fencing to block or alter the experience based on country of origin).



And if the blacklist is on the upstream provider? So you literally cannot send packets beyond your residential ISP? Have fun surfing the comcast homepage.


It’s not clear what you’re trying to say. Nobody’s arguing that 3rd parties blocking ASs, ISPs, regions, etc is fun for the people who get blocked.

But that doesn’t somehow create a civil case against your ISP for not acting in response to the 3rd party action.
