Censorship isn’t the only concern. The NSA and Big Brother are as big a concern if not bigger in my opinion. Of course, a private company Big Brother (Google??) isn’t that much better. But it’s easier to escape a private company than it is to escape the government, especially if you’re just a normal guy and not being specifically targeted.

I find this statement suspect in the current U.S. landscape.

Prove that your concern somehow is more real under Net Neutrality than without. Seriously. I am sick of this lie being tossed around. Did you completely forget the NSA just setting up shop inside AT&T's switch room? What about Net Neutrality or the lack thereof would change any of that?

I’m all for net neutrality. I’m not for the government being everyone’s ISP as was mentioned.

NSA in an AT&T closet should not be happening. It would be the default situation for everyone if we all had government ISP.

I fail to see any reason why, or any reason that a municipal ISP would somehow be easier for the NSA to operate. However, they are far more responsive to customers, and provide better service than the incumbent private ISPs.
