2FA emails sent by a blockchain.info account I used were blocked by AOL/AIM not long ago, so that I couldn't receive them or confirm logging in to my blockchain account.

If any of you have a spare blockchain.info account try linking it to an email address on the AOL/AIM domain. It seemed to me that AOL/AIM blocks emails coming from the blockchain.info domain. Maybe someone doesn't like me, or my case was an isolated event. Either way, I wouldn't be surprised if my experiences represent future actions taken against bitcoin/crypto.

It is known that ISP's already engage in "throttling" of bandwidth for services like bittorrent. If Net Neutrality is repealed it may not be an exaggeration to assume circumstances will be much worse.

As far back as 5 years ago, politicians in the USA were saying america needed to adopt an "internet kill switch" and stronger censorship of internet content "similar to what china implements". If net neutrality is repealed that could be what we end up with.
