I see no problem whatsoever.

In the first case, I am in full agreement - of course GoDaddy decides, and ought to decide, what domains are allowed to be registered on its property.

In the second case, the correct solution is to change the applicable laws - enshrine net neutrality into law in a constitutionally valid manner, and Bob's your uncle.
