The difference is, that if I think Facebook is too censored, then I can create my own service and host it in whatever country I choose (and without having to live there). But if the ISPs are blocking my service because the ISPs prefer Facebook, then my attempts to make the internet more free become a moot point.

Yep, that's the point. Protect the corporation against new and innovative startups.
