The argument is not an argument at all, but an appeal to ideology.

Ironically, the ideology that is appealed to is the best argument for net neutrality.

All arguments for policy (or action more generally) are, at root, appeals to ideology. You can't get "should do" results anywhere else.

Appeal to ideology is a subset of argument types, not a non-argument. The definition of "argument" doesn't include being good, convincing, or logical.
