That generally means deploying things like DPI and policy-based DNS rewriting. Whether or not ISPs deserve to be blamed for that is another matter.

I am so glad that net-neutrality and privacy rules explicitly prevent Dutch ISPs from doing DPI and messing with my traffic like that :-)

I just hope it stays that way and politicians aim for a balanced approach. The trend seems to be to mess with citizens' rights more and more no matter how useful/useless it actually is :-(

Cheers,
Sander
