neither Google nor anyone else can block access to Gab


Honest question, could they not block Gab through their DNS? I'm aware not everyone uses their DNS.

i think this is where the whole NN comes into play.

potentially, with NN repealed, yes. they (or other providers) can choose what type of traffic to allow/block/slowdown.

They could, but I'd imagine 99% of internet users just stick with their ISP's DNS. That would be a really stupid move on Google's part, and they'd also have to remove Gab from their search results, too.

It would take a concerted effort between all the DNS providers to block access to Gab, and I just don't see that happening. If it does, that's when we'll see some sort of internet revolution.
