Honest question: by looking at the traffic, doesn't that alter the ISPs legal protection (under Sec 230 or otherwise)? i.e. some of the protection ISPs receive is sort of "don't look, don't tell" -- e.g. they didn't know drug trades were being arranged on their network, so they can't be held responsible.
But isn't this somewhat admitting that "yes, we DO know what's going on on our networks" ... thus opening themselves up to other legal issues?

Doesn't this mean they're no longer telecomm providers?
