Given how often major news outlets seem to jump on "THE INTERNET IS BAD LULZ" stories, I wouldn't be surprised to see this picked up and used as a reason to push that internet browsing history law [1], or some other net neutrality thing. Does it make sense? No. Will it help anything? No. But logic rarely matters when you're trying to be alarmist.
I realize, but reading Techdirt for any length of time is a really, really quick way to kill any faith you have in the idea of an open internet and/or fair IP laws actually going through, at least in the US.
