Gab uses its own server hardware now to protect from getting its site deplatformed.

Is anything stopping Internet providers from cutting off their services?

Maybe it's a good time to start a web hosting company that has a permissive Terms of Service (and sticks to it).

Is there any legal weight in the US for this?

I know that other countries have ISPs block sites, such as at the behest of a regime.

NN means ISPs can't throttle or block websites. They can still throttle customers for daring to visit websites. They also can't charge the major bandwidth eaters extra (Nf/Yt) for eating so much damn bandwidth.

It was passed during Obama's second term. That's why Netflix gave him millions to be a "consultant" when he left office: it's a bribe. SCOTUS says bribing politicians is legal as long as they wait til they're out of power to receive it.
