No, you'd get hypocrites and idiots (of which there are plenty in congress). Suggesting that a private company have control and authority over the electronic signals it sends isn't to do with media companies being censored - it's to do with constitutional law. Enforcing what protocols are delivered and how is step 1 of 2 - the second being actively worked on by most of the pro-net-neutrality legislators: controlling or outlawing encryption.
I am anti-net-neutrality for the same reasons I'm for de-funding the police: there are smarter ways than direct remote control for solving certain issues. Starlink (for example) does tenfold more for a neutral internet than any FCC ever has. A neutral internet does not require the California Internet Consumer Protection and Net Neutrality Act.

There might be smarter ways to prevent monopoly abuse than anti-trust laws (and net neutrality is idea of the same category like other competition laws), but monopolists have a lot of power to counteract those ways once they are already entrenched. They never play fair. Google tried with Fiber. It went so well because of fair entrenched incumbents, didn't it?
