I hope most net neutrality proponents would not say that it implies that all providers must allow all traffic through their network, regardless of whether it is malicious or not. If they do believe that then it turns out I’m against net neutrality.

> malicious

Careful, that's a subjective term. Not that I disagree w/ ISPs protecting their own networks, but we often can't have it both ways unless it's more clear what malicious means. Tor traffic can appear malicious as was probably the case here.

Of course it is - unless we’re going by the relevant RFC, in which case we can simply define it as traffic with the evil bit set ;) But net neutrality is, in its essence, a subjective term. At the end of the day, it would be down to the courts as the final arbiters of what is malicious or not, should it come to that.
