The mirror image of that statement is, "when did intermediaries get a
mandate to filter content?" The internet architecture assumes full
connectivity. At some point, people deployed middle-boxes and filtered
content because they could. They did not exactly try to get a mandate,
or obtain consensus that this was proper. Technologies like DoH force
the discussion in the open. Why do you think you can filter content? Who
made you king?
