Is Google Fiber cool with bittorrent, ED2K, or other filesharing protocols? (ani.social)

I'm considering getting Google Fiber for internet service, because it's about to become available in my area.

Are the Google Fiber admins cool with filesharing protocols?

Or do they strangle traffic, ban people for filesharing, etc?

Iirc, at one point I believe they were round filing any dmca requests. What I would suggest is use Proton or another vpn that has settings for this type of traffic. I don't remember seeing anything about them throttling non pirated files transferred over those protocols but I haven't paid attention to them in years because I moved away from the area they were rolling out.

What does round filing dmca requests mean?

"round file" is a cute name for a garbage can.
