An Insight

isn't it interesting how the same people pushing the needless doctrine of "net neutrality" to "stop censorship of the net" have not uttered a peep about companies like google, facebook, and twitter overtly censoring content.

one might be tempted to call such a stance "hypocrisy" https://t.co/DzVE5FOXaE

There were plenty of good arguments on both sides of the net neutrality debate but much depended on your predicate assumptions.  Predicates were where many of the argument errors lay hidden.

But virtually everyone, at least nominally, wanted to ensure that the internet remained open to all, uncensored.  As the Bad Cat suggests, some people actually never cared about net neutrality.  They were perfectly fine with censorship, as long as it was themselves or their allies doing the censoring.

This is known as unprincipled.  Their argument was utilitarian, not principled.
