There is no _way_ to make it easier for said outside forces to pressure 
providers.   They have the force of law on their side.   What we do makes no 
difference in that arena.   The arena in which it _does_ make a difference is 
protecting people from losing their homes because they got suckered by some 
malware that got into their personal records on their computer.

IOW, the argument you are presenting has nothing to do with the choice that 
faces us.   If you want to make the case for rpz being a bad thing, the 
argument you should be making would have to show why protecting people in this 
way is the wrong solution to the problem, and why some other solution to the 
problem (e.g., a blacklist in the browser) is less bad.

Can’t we have that conversation, instead of these repeated assertions about 
things over which we have no control?
