Under current FCC rules (47 CFR 8.5), “A person engaged in the provision of broadband Internet access service, insofar as such person is so engaged, shall not block lawful content...”

If they were broadband Internet access service providers, GoDaddy, Google, and Scaleway would be prohibited by current federal law from blocking access to Daily Stormer.
[...]
Countless web sites offer repulsive, even criminal, content. [...] Broadband service providers such as AT&T, Verizon, or Charter would be violating the network neutrality provisions of federal regulations to block these sites.
[...]
Using editorial discretion to block websites is not without risks. Companies such as GoDaddy and Google that exercise newfound discretion to block Daily Stormer will be under new pressures to block other websites. If unblocked websites engage in unlawful activities, will those entities that now claim editorial discretion be responsible, even liable, for the unlawful activities? [...] and those seeking to block content at one website may be accused of discrimination for not blocking other websites.
