      Net Neutrality doesn’t affect web sites and services, just how ISPs deliver content. Twitter doesn’t have to remain neutral, they can block, throttle or redirect whatever they want. We need to stop pretending like they are a town square, they aren’t and we shouldn’t expect them to behave like they are.
