>Facebook doesn't let them decide. Because they only provide Facebook. It's an illusion of choice.
They can decide between having Facebook or not, no one is forcing them to use it. Government is forcing them to not use Facebook. That's an illusion of protection.

No, government is forcing Facebook to play by the same rules as everyone else. That's fair and necessary. If Facebook wants to be exempt from data caps, then all traffic and services should be.

Any other company can provide internet access, e.g. Google. >No, government is forcing Facebook to play by the same rules as everyone else. That's fair and necessary. Of course, given that there is nn everyone should respect it. My point is that nn is harmful.
