Organizations like Google, Amazon, and Apple have more capital and potential to do harm to individuals than most governments in the world.

This is frankly nonsense. Net Neutrality is dead because organizations like Google aren't bothered by having more control on the net as well. For every "blackout" site when NN was a big pet issue, there are 10 people who were in favor of NN then that could not even explain what NN was.

Google doesn't push on the NN angle anymore because they make more money on a closed net, and pushing out anyone critical of mass media/advertisers.

NN is dead because the big institutional players are against it. It's as simple as that.
