No, I'm against throttling extortion being used by powerful actors for selfish, monopolistic reasons. Not every act of throttling is inherently evil or something, it's just bad because of the damages it causes. So some acts (like throttling people who have the power to affect policy to show them the dangers of deregulation) are perfectly acceptable morally.
However, I also belive in due process and just laws, so ideally, which is why it makes sense to have laws in place that prevent all Internet throttling extortion, regardless of the objectives, so that they may be simple and enforceable without loopholes.
Just because you want something prohibited does not mean you think all instances of that act are wrong. Just that we would be far better off with the law then without it.
