Sure. But there is free choice as well. If Prodigy doesn't provide
its customers what they want, the disaffected will take their money
elsewhere, which is as it should be. That possibility doesn't exist
right now for the greater Internet community (frequently because there's
no money to be taken elsewhere!)
It seems to me that the issue isn't censorship but an infrastructure
where censorship can be addressed by economic means.
