Speech advocating violence and hate isn't illegal, but no one is required to provide a platform for it, either. That isn't part of net neutrality, and never will be. Net neutrality is about carrying data regardless of origin/destination. That's it. No one is ever required to be the origin or destination of any particular traffic by the rules of net neutrality. If you don't want to host a particular customer, for any reason, no rights of theirs are being violated if you say "I'm sorry, you're going to have to find another host." As for ISPs, there have been a bunch of high profile cases of them violating net neutrality that seem to be constantly ignored by people who choose to attack it. Time Warner cable intentionally degraded traffic to servers owned by Riot Games until they caved in and paid off the ISP in order to get back to average traffic quality. A quote from the NYAG filing [1]: > Data from Riot Games confirmed that from at least September 2013, when Riot Games started to maintain this data, through August 2015, when Riot Games agreed to pay Spectrum-TWC for access, Spectrum-TWC subscribers did not enjoy a “good network experience.” And let's not forget the multiple times Netflix has been shaken down by ISPs. Comcast [2] and Verizon [3] were trivial to find writeups for. They may call those "peering" agreements, but the data is pretty solid. In both cases, the problem was the ISP refusing to allow Netflix to upgrade interchange capacity, despite having plenty of bandwidth available on both sides of the interchange. Netflix only got to improve the situation by paying the ISP for access to their customers. This is a very clear violation of net neutrality. These are a set of events that actually happened. They aren't vague warnings about worse cases, they're violations that already have been observed. I do not believe the practice will magically never happen if it becomes legal again.
