Net neutrality was repealed in 2018.

It is probably not illegal in America. Would it be illegal in Europe? Because (at least w/r/t Threads) it is an anti-competitive practice?

Network Neutrality has historically been more about malfeasance by ISP networks which have higher/more-concrete barriers to entry, as opposed to the websites.

And then reinstated again at the state level. It never went away, this just doesn't apply because Twitter isn't an ISP (in that sense).

TIL! Looks like its only some of the states, and that is a good point about Twitter not being an ISP. Twitter is incorporated in Delaware which has not passed state-level net neutrality, so I don't know if it would have mattered anyway.

It basically just matters what California does. There's enough customers there that it's easier to apply those policies nationwide.

Incorporated in Delaware hardly ever affects anything except corporate law.
