And these are the same groups pushing “net neutrality.”
Not from what I've seen. You'll find that groups talking about "hate speech" and/or the "Fairness Doctrine" (another item that some want to "revive") -- are not the ones who are talking about "Net Neutrality".
Those things related to "hate speech" and the "Fairness Doctrine" are related to the content of the speech that people are saying and giving out to others.
But, the things having to do with "Net Neutrality" -- has to do with all the "bits and bytes" flowing on the Internet not being blocked or hampered ... and allowed to flow to any other user, without restriction.
Net Neutrality is about technical computer/Internet matters (like TCP/IP and other Internet protocols), not with "content of speech" (as in "human beings speaking/writing", as is with "hate speech" and the other thing, the "Fairness Doctrine") ... LOL ...
Begging your pardon, but you are dead wrong about Net Neutrality. Perhaps a few years ago, the term meant what you said. But like many other seemingly benign terms, it has been hijacked to mean regulation of Internet content by the government. Look into the organization “Free Press” to get some idea of how they want to use the term as a Trojan horse.

Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.
