The literal exact opposite.
I can't wait for them to finally accept climate change is man made, except inexplicably blaming trees and renewables for destroying the climate while promoting a cooling effect from fossil fuels... Whatever it is, it's guaranteed to be evil and dumb as shit.

Exactly: Net neutrality is a publicly acknowledged individual by small tech that wants to censor liberals.

Just a joke :P be a little light-hearted 😁
I didn’t downvote you, but it’s impossible to detect sarcasm in text anymore. /s used to be a popular way but I don’t see it much anymore.
All good homie. Just trying to make people have a little chuckle 😄

The EFF heavily criticized AWS for removing Parler a few years ago for this reason.
That’s not Net Neutrality. Comcast stopping a subscriber from visiting Parlor hosted on AWS would be violating Net Neutrality. It’s about getting there, not where it’s hosted. Amazon is fully in their rights to dictate what is hosted on their platform.
I'm inclined to agree but you can read their stance here: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/01/beyond-platforms-private-censorship-parler-and-stack
I’m aware of their stance, and I disagree with it. Beyond that, it’s simply a different issue than Net Neutrality and they aren’t conflating the two. It’s important to understand the difference, especially because a large number of Americans have little to no choice in Internet Service Providers.
It’s a kin to the water company refusing to provide water to a racist on your street. That’s wrong. Water is a utility and should be available to the home owner regardless. However, Walmart should not be obligated to stock water that racist bottles with racist slogans on it in their stores.
