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potentially, with NN repealed, yes.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.

Something to keep the net fair or balanced or neutral, if you will.

All Google did was remove the app from the play store.

I went to Gab.com on chrome and went right to it. Love that it's a Russian owned site.

No collusion. Nothing to see. The Ruskies are our friends now.
