That's a pretty interesting thought, and it is pretty well addressed by
paragraphs 376, 377, and 378. Basically, the FCC found that spam
blocking is a separate add-on information service. It may be that the
consumer now must opt-in to that service after clear disclosure of what
the service entails. The FCC even found that DNS is not an information
service (paragraphs 366-371), and the argument is compelling. This
Commission is not technically illiterate, that's for sure, whether you
agree with the R&O or not.
