You’re confusing can’t and won’t. We can enforce any policies we choose, 
we’re an independent organization and we’re fully capable of enforcing our 
bylaws. Whether we would or not is a different matter. 

I think I’d side more towards Jeff on this topic however. Our members should 
have an expectation of safety on the network. Content blocking is one thing, 
but preventing malware and actual entities that are making malicious efforts 
to harm people’s computers is different. The right to free speech can only go 
so far, we aren’t being forced to enable C&C centers or other nefarious 
domains.
