Liberals tend to think ISPs should be obligated to follow Net Neutrality is based on the principle of freedom of speech. Also the only reason they are OK with say Alex Jones discussion being banned is that they disagree with/don't like Alex Jones. You know, this is an interesting point. Liberals do think that the internet in 2018 is a fundamental part of our infrastructure, like water, roads, electricity, etc. Well, something like that at least. The way I read your point here is that liberals should classify social media in the same way. You're not really making a convincing argument here, though, but your line of reasoning opens up for the possibility of hypocrisy on the other side as well - if you think Alex Jones should be entitled to a platform on Facebook, shouldn't you similarly favor net neutrality? --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage.
