Nope, not at all. I said articles that mention Google/Facebook monopolies never mention ISP monopolies. That's true, they don't, including the vox article you link.
> The article is also critical of telcoms
Perhaps you misread the quote. That is reporting, not criticism. From the same article, this is criticism,
<< Google, like any other giant company, is going to sometimes find itself in the regulatory crosshairs, throwing its weight around to try to get away with things that maybe shouldn't be allowed. “Don't be evil” was a nice idea while it lasted, but business is business and politics is politics — no exceptions. >>
- azakai 9y agoI may have misunderstood you. When you wrote > they would mention ISP's broadband monopolies and net neutrality I thought you meant they never mention either. Now it sounds like you meant they never mention them both together. It seems odd to expect an article focused on criticizing Google to also criticize a bunch of other things at the same time. I don't think the lack of that proves anything.
- unityByFreedom 9y ago> It seems odd to expect an article focused on criticizing Google to also criticize a bunch of other things at the same time It's not just about this one article. It's that none of those critiquing Google mention the ISP monopolies that everyone knows are there. If I were going to rage about tech monopolies as a journalist, and I believed both of these were monopolies, I'd mention both. > I don't think the lack of that proves anything. No sweat, I don't expect everyone to agree with me. I often see Google critiqued as left-leaning, and NN critiqued as leftist policy. I noticed a pattern in recent news. It's fine if you don't see it the way I do.
