Fair. I picked another activity that's illegal on its face that stood out for its absurdity. Now I'm researching when Usenet or email were ever classified as CC, hopefully benefiting from this discussion.
In fairness I may be mistaken. It seems ISPs were extended common carrier protections in relation to hosting Usenet and email and I conflated that with the protocols themselves. Either way it was a long time ago and I doubt they’d extend those protections to generic web platforms these days, but I’d sure like someone to set a precedent for it.
It would be great to see the public good placed far above corporate good. Alas...
