Whatever you do on the internet, you're always at the mercy of private companies. You're always subject to your hosting company or domain registrar or ISP or whatever.
On some level, private companies have to allow everyone neutral access. Like phone companies and the USPS, the internet should be accessible.
On the other hand, comment sections under news articles are really not the way I'd make this argument. Let's talk about net neutrality first.

Yep, I think net neutrality should solve the ISP and hosting problems (you can self host out of your basement). Domain registrars are harder; can we get net neutrality to apply to them?
