That was never the argument.

The argument is that private companies have the right to provide their services in their terms, and if your intended use violates those terms then you also have the right to pick a services that tolerates you and your intended use. Aka gay wedding cakes.

And what point of the acceptable use policy of Zayo does KiwiFarms break? In any case, is there a point at which it's impossible to have another private company provide you services and you'd consider it censorship?

Ah, guess I missed that. It's still sadly vague, same as how most other companies choose to write their terms/AUP.

Yes, what amazing acceptable use policy. "Notwithstanding the foregoing, we can do whatever we want".
