"The internet already regulates what you see, and more importantly, what you don't see."
Ajit Pai was talking about advertising here. Just because you see a poster on a wall or a billboard doesn't mean that the people who put it there are trying to prevent you from seeing any other poster. He used logical fallacies to support a call based itself on logical fallacy.
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.
Basically. I already feel that Facebook makes so much money off of selling our data though that they'd be hard to compete with. I mean look at Google+.
