It's a dog-whistle term that activates the microchip which enables neo-conservative circlejerking.

Cite an example of companies barring access to legal material, please. I honestly have never heard of this happening, just people saying it "could happen"

It's a Canadian example but still 100% valid. Not only were they blocking access to legal content, they were blocking it because it was a pro-union website.
A lack of Net Neutrality allows for complete and total censorship. And here's the thing, it won't always be as obvious as this. It could be as simple as throttling a particular website down to insanely low speeds, something that's very difficult to test for. They can do it without detection. Do you want that?
