A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Not sure about the US, but in the EU that process does exist: anyone can submit a claim against any domain, and if the "competent authority" which can be a judge or a law enforcement agency, so decides, they add it to a list of domains to be blocked at the ISP level... currently meaning at the ISP's DNS resolver (use non-ISP DNS resolvers at your own risk), but technically they could request routing or deep packet inspection blocks through the same process.
As far as I know (but this might be outdated), ISPs in the EU are not allowed to play other shenanigans with user's data.
