Removing net neutrality gives more power to ISPs to censor the internet though. If it's in FCC's hand, even if they wanted to censor the internet they would be susceptible to the first amendment.

If ISPs censor content we are free to no longer choose to use their services and pick another ISP. With the feral government your choices are to either comply or pay fines or go to prison. The problem is the more power you give the FCC the more likely they are to continue chipping away at our First Ammendment rights. The FCC is much more likely than a corporation to censor content. Even the definition of "censor" describes a government action -
Note: "an official..."
If companies like facebook and youtube are spending money to censor content it is probably at the request of, to be on the good side of, or for fear of government.

The first amendment doesn't keep the FCC from censoring things. Why do you think there are certain words that can't be said on TV during "prime-time"??? not all speech is protected speech.
