> And that isn't what network neutrality is anyway. Network neutrality doesn't regulate content. It says nothing about what anyone can print, it just says that everyone can buy ink on the same terms.

What do you make of the case of Gab then? They're a competitor to Facebook, Twitter etc. They're not allowed on either app store and they've had their site taken down by multiple domain registrars. Are they being allowed to buy ink on the same terms? No, they're not, I guess we explain that away by saying: "well... they're hate speech." That's going to convince some people, some other people will take a look at that and say: "Wait, if they're hate speech maybe I'm hate speech too, maybe this whole net neutrality thing isn't actually meant for me." Which is why net neutrality has suddenly become a much more partisan issue.
