Why not?

  Because net neutrality is about the behaviors of internet service providers, and web sites are not internet service providers. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality (Follow the link in the first sentence to see the definition of "Internet Service Provider".)

    How is HN not an ISP? It appears to be offering IP service, including with an application on top.

      From Wikipedia's ISP article: "Internet services typically provided by ISPs include Internet access, Internet transit, domain name registration, web hosting, Usenet service, and colocation." [1] HN is just a web site. I can't use HN to connect to the internet. I can't use it to host a domain. I can't use it to host a web site.

        Seems like a pretty trivial difference.
