Google & Facebook is not a ISP, (in most areas).

Trump would only slander these folks if he wanted to warrant action on his part. Trying to give it some merit in the eyes of the people.
But it really is about Google and Facebook removing those fake accounts.

But yes, I would welcome some rules on 'search' to resemble those put forth in net neutrality but not by this administration. But even that is a slippery slope that I find distasteful.
Wait till you can see clear damage occurring, then take only action for a change to fix that.
This is not one of those type of 'damage' situations.
Just dismay from the inability of outside entities to enable news confusion/disinformation.
Thanks for the info. I knew net neutrality affected ISP's but I wasn't sure if Google fell in that realm because they have Google Fiber and they have a lot of partnerships with companies like Verizon.
