(2) the transmission, routing, provision of connections, or storage is
carried out through an automatic technical process without selection of
the material by the service provider

(5) the material is transmitted through the system or network without
modification of its content.

One could argue that dropping packets is "modification of content", as
well as "selection of material". By specifying an exit policy, you don't
get to see the data in the first place, so no modification or selection
happens.
