I would argue that google's size, position, and status as something approaching monopoly for the service of routing internet traffic assigns it to a position somewhere among the order of ISPs. In fact, now I consider it, it very much is an ISP in the original sense, too: google fiber is a thing (or maybe was- did they kill that, too?). On that basis, its blocking invidious and tor are very much in violation of the spirit and the letter of net neutrality. Then again, they killed the law, so.
