I don't see the point of NN as long as the only "service providers" it applies to are the ones implementing layers <= 3. The main threat to online freedom is that corporate America can collude together to remove you from the internet entirely if you piss them off. See parler, 8chan, kiwifarms etc; not that i think any of those sites is particularly worth defending but there's a principle at stake which is that this can happen to anybody.
And with NN being championed by a lot of the same services that cut off the above-mentioned it seems less like something meant to preserve the freedom of the Internet and more like something meant to keep one group of corporations in control of it.
