In regards to this point:

"If a consumer requests access to a website or service, and the content is legal, your ISP should not be permitted to block it."

Are ISPs permitted to block illegal content currently? It would seem that this distinction shouldn't be left up to the ISP. Does this mean that my isp would be able to block me from visiting The Pirate Bay? Or could my ISP have blocked me from reddit when "The Fappening" was going down?

The way its been worded its implied that ISPs are permitted to block illegal content but not legal content. I'm just curious if its been that way all along or if this is something new.
