Network Operators and Net Neutrality, where do you stand as a professional?

I'm not sure if this is allowed but it's really the only place aside from /r/sysadmin I thought the question would be appropriate.

With all of the talk about net neutrality it got me thinking. At the end of the day a network engineer/system engineer somehow, somewhere is implementing these changes into a network. Be it DNS filtering, rate limiting/shaping and monitoring of data streams. Are these people fundamentally different to the people who are in this subreddit?

If you were faced with this moral dilemma to perform some of the changes to your networks (monitoring traffic, shaping users, blocking certain sites based on your organization's requirements from others) would you oppose them and leave or is the role too important and would you implement them, would you uphold the integrity of the Internet?
