That's the thing, they is no profit motive to block wide swaths of public viewpoint because that will cost them customers. They will quickly lose business to a competitor who doesn't do that. (Local monopolies aside, which is an entirely different problem).

I wish you were right, but you’re not. Internet providers have monopolies because the cost of laying fiber or launching satellites is so high. That’s precisely what the argument over net neutrality has been about.

They have monopolies because we let them. I say nationalize all communication infrastructure.
