Terminating Service for 8Chan

Facebook implemented automation to ban any reposts of the NZ footage. Facebook routinely bans extremists groups.

8ch actively caters to white supremacists, by letting /pol/ be the second largest board there and not be actively moderated to combat hate speech. 8ch administrators did nothing to prevent hate speech from becoming a large chunk of their discourse. As such, people were looking towards 8ch's providers to do something about this, as it has been the case on the Internet since forever (ISP not reacting to abuse requests concerning their customers? Okay, we have to contact their upstreams then).

Oh so therefore, 8chan was deplatformed not in connection with this manifesto then, but due to their past record of not banning bad speech prior to this crime?

I don't know. I assume this can be the straw that broke the camel's back.

And I assume you are a "net neutrality" advocate at the same time?

They are not exclusive - this was the straw that broke the camel's back.
