No, this is beyond blocking. It's misrepresenting


Fair enough.

I only ask because Verizon argued in court that that it is a speaker when it transmits communications across its network, and therefore net neutrality rules violate its First Amendment rights.

If transmission is free speech.. why would they not have the right to edit, censor, or misdirect? It seems similar to your position that the government taking action against Facebook for censoring XYZ would violate their 1A rights. I don't see very clear demarcation between refusing to display, blocking, deleting, or rerouting and transmission of data.

Censoring is one thing, changing the content or redirecting is fraudulent.
