Seriously? He seems to be saying that since Steve likes to control the user experience on his products, and since Steve is dictatorial, then Apple is the biggest threat to the free internet.
Without offering any substantial example. For example, Apple doesn't allow porn apps. But its browsers don't block you from visiting porn sites. (I haven't actually tested this assertion, of course).
Apple's iOS browsers don't run flash. But they do run Javascript, which allows you to make a wide variety of interactive applications that run on an IOS device without paying 30% of your revenue to Apple or being screened for content.
I don't know why he thinks Apple is a bigger threat to Net Neutrality than the carriers, who have an avowed and demonstrated opposition to Net neutrality. Or Facebook, which is the world's biggest walled garden.
All in all, super-light on argument and long on emotion. Not quite flag-worthy, but certainly not the most insightful thing you'll read all day.
