Don't you think the suppression of the web neutrality can have an impact on the crypto world?

I work as a software developers and private networks to keep government and google spyware out
is popping up all over the place so the fight back is starting because it's getting to the stage where
no one dare speak because anything they say is "Hate Speech" these days.

Freedom won't come free and in the end you will have to pay micro amounts to have your say but
bitcoin won't be part of it due to the crazy transactions fees and they have lost the trust of the community
who does not like being held hostage by miners

Cryptocurrencies that keep block sizes and bandwidth usage at sustainable levels shouldn't be impacted.

Which makes me wonder whether China ever tried blocking Bitcoin transactions on a protocol level, as they already have the infrastructure in place and could be seen as pioneers of anti-net-neutrality.

People are using Net Neutrality as some boogyman when most people are parroting shit they heard on reddit or whatever, something that is basically fearmongering from the get-go.

Remember all those problems with companies charging people to use different portions of the internet before 2010? Me neither. It was passed as a bill to let the government regulate the internet (as they called it a public utility and thus subject to gov intervention), and companies were allowed to regulate the internet themselves (such as Google suppressing YouTube channels they don't like, Twitter doing the same with their accounts, etc.).

There may be an impact if any company decides to actually care about the connections that make up less than 28% of total internet usage, but they'll probably care more about Netflix and YouTube taking up 50% of bandwidth usage. Oh well.

they might trigger (for sure) huge price drops with that ban, this doesn't look like wise move for them anytime soon

Well they effectively banned Bitcoin trading by shutting down the remaining Chinese exchanges already, so that ship has sailed.

Question being whether China -- being at the forefront of internet filtering, which apparently will become more or less the norm with the death of net neutrality -- could technologically prevent Bitcoin transactions from entering or leaving the Chinese part of the internet.
