> is it ok for them to scan emails you send to your friends,
They're probably already doing this, at the very least to scan for viruses and filter scammy emails.
> quietly delete them if they contain links...they don't approve of?
That's what a spam filter does.
> This would be illegal under net neutrality
a) ISPs aren't subject to net neutrality. They were, but now they aren't. Guess who voted to make it that way?
b) It would be a dick move and would cost the ISP a lot of business. Email is 1:1 and you (presumably) consented to receive email from your friends. But it isn't illegal afaik. Can you cite the relevant law you think makes this action illegal?
> is identical to what Twitter and Facebook are doing regularly.
Maybe, maybe not. It's not illegal. Considering that an ISP operates at the network layer and social networks operate at the application layer, such comparisons are meaningless. ISPs perform plenty of network-layer moderation that you never see and might never find out about.
