This has nothing to do with net neutrality. Either you didn't read the article, you didn't understand what you read, or you don't understand what net neutrality means.

To your credit, the use of "throttles" in the headline is (likely intentionally) deceptive. It's the wrong term entirely. What Xitter did was make their own servers wait ~5 seconds before serving an http redirect.

Net Neutrality.

The principle that internet service providers should enable access to all content and applications regardless of source and without favoring, blocking, or throttling particular products or websites.

Sounds exactly like he is disregarding net neutrality to me.

Edit: To be clear, proponents of net neutrality believe that all corporations, not just ISPs should follow net neutrality. It's because of this exact situation that people want shit like this put into law.

He’s like the asshole bakers who won’t make the cake for the gay wedding. Or he’ll do it eventually but whine about it the entire time and it’ll arrive late and burnt.
