The reaction I got from some policy people when I mentioned this kind of 
arguments going on here is "when did the IETF get the mandate to decide for 
everyone that content filtering by intermediaries is always bad? This is matter 
for competition / telco / human rights legislation, and will vary country by 
country."

To quote what you wrote in another message:

Do you really think that this is the IETF's job? Deciding "what looks 
legitimate in a user agreement in a free country" (and presumably, also what 
tells "a police state" from "a free country") and enforcing such decision via 
technical measures?
