MODERATORS
They're violating the spirit of net neutrality, but not the law. Since they aren't an ISP, they can't actually slow down or block you from accessing certain websites. The most they can do is slow down (or block) their own URL redirection service when its used to access to those domains. That's within their right of free speech, even if it's really fucking petty.
