I can understand blocking traffic. I can understand the desire for a company to block traffic. I might not agree with it, I might not get behind it, but I can, at least, *understand* it.

But to *delay* it? That’s just… well, it seems completely against the whole basis of network protocols. A packet is a packet is a packet. If you’re going to let it through, you let it through. You don’t put it in a friggin’ holding pattern. Packets don’t get the opportunity to fire up a set of red lights and a siren to make all the other traffic pull over.
