Filtering via protocol is dangerous, too many false positives.
Only traffic that violates copyrights should be dropped.

They can't really do that without violating Network Neutrality completely. Discriminating protocols is a mild violation, discriminating servers is a huge violation.

I'd be ok with them only targeting tracking servers that have been proved to violate copyright or host underage pornography. It is a slippery slope, but I think a line can be drawn there and nobody would really complain. The reason they don't is that its cheaper for them to target the whole protocol.

WRONG! No traffic should be dropped, blocked, or interfered with in any way. Period.
