Advocating for the neutrality of internet infrastructure providers, while rallying against the neutrality of internet communication platforms (1), is pretty inconsistent.

No, these two are completely different matters.

One is arguing for a public utility that just pushes arbitrary and unceognizable bits down a fiber line.

The other is about requiring engineers to support actual tangible information of things they do not support.

Please don't conflate these two.

There are engineers who work at AT&T, Comcast, Spectrum, etc. The vast majority of them are good people (and not white nationalists).

Why do you want to force them to support the Daily Stormer?

Exactly. How about Facebook neutrality? Or Twitter neutrality?
