Is smacking children a morally good thing? In a vacuum, I'd argue that hitting children is not a good thing, yet we do not live in a vacuum. I have a young daughter, and if she were ever to do something like run into the road I've already decided I would pick her up and smack her good in hopes that it might leave a strong impression on her that she should not run into a busy street. Is smacking a kid in this situation moral? You yourself seem to argue that smacking children is a good thing in certain circumstances.
Considering the wider circumstances of net neutrality and the consequences it will have, especially on the poor and less educated, I don't have any problem morally with Ajit Pai having a brief encounter with the negative consequences his actions will have upon millions.
In general, I don't think there's much to be gained by discussion morals here though, and we shouldn't expect our morals to align exactly.
