You are apparently totally clueless about how the Internet works. ISPs rent from telephone companies, it's the big companies like AT&T in every country that make the rules, together with the government, both, in the US and Europe.

If, let's say, Deutsche Telekom in Germany charges per Gigabyte, all the ISPs have to follow because they rent from them.

As for the censorship, it has already started in France
