What would you all say if I started an ISP that offered $3 a month for service only to a handful of websites? That would be prohibited under Net Neutrality, yet I could see something like that being useful to plenty of people, like my grandparents who use the Internet only to send emails and check their local news.
I don't like it. If someone only wanted Facebook but then considered fact checking something they read, they wouldn't be able to.
Websites arent just one domain, they use all different kinds of CDN's and external content. If you only whitelist certain domains then virtually all sites you whitelist would be broken anyways.
How would such a thing be financially viable? Once the ability to connect to any website exists, the physical cost to access everything else is essential nothing.
