Yes, the EU for example mandates net neutrality, but that covers only 
ISPs. Individual countries still potentially can (and often do) ban 
certain domains and such to enforce their own laws (or that's the excuse 
anyway). That doesn't even prevent ISPs for blocking stuff from "generic 
block lists" like the IWF.

Where I live, for example, gambling sites that aren't registered in my 
country are supposed to be banned to "prevent tax evasion". Some 
providers also block stuff on IWF's watchlist.

Other countries have similar provisions to "protect themselves". 
Germany, for example, censors the internet by pressuring providers, 
social media sites, news sites and such to censor "hate speech" and 
"extremism", basically restricting freedom of speech. France forces 
telecom companies to use devices that send all traffic to the 
government. Stuff like that.

But of course they are the good guys so it's all fine.

I suggest you read up here: 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Internet_censorship_in_Europe - 
especially about Germany, France and the UK.

Fair warning: we live in a fairly depressing, oppressive world with very 
little freedom that continues to diminish.

As many, if not most of us here appear to believe, this

That's their decision and as 
long as they say so in their server's description
then more power to everyone - the whole point of
sharing T2 servers is to provide a service 
to other users who have an interest in that service
*with that particular configuration*. Same goes for
logging and such.

Sure, don't show it on the homepage among
"recommended servers" but there's no reason to
essentially blacklist those servers and operators

I suggest a policy restricting the use of
non-malware blacklists to 
private T2 servers.  In other words, T2 servers
using blacklists for 
any category other than malware would not be
eligible to be listed in 
the public directory.

We might even want to require public T2 servers to
blacklist known malware domains, but that is sure
to be highly controversial. Should 
we censor ransomware?
