I agree with the general thrust of what you're saying, and I think the FCC takeover of the internet is much more problematic than the NSA spying scandal.
That said, the EFF is getting what it has been advocating for: A government takeover of the internet.
That is what net neutrality has always been for and about.
Once we grant that the internet infrastructure is not private property and is open to government regulation, that means it's open to all government regulation, including speech regulation. There is no middle ground.
To think otherwise is to not understand principles and politics.
