I feel that it's kind of hypocritical to be to be OK with companys like Google and Facebook to have more and more leverage on the internet and information in general, yet care about net neutrality. That being said, I'm for net neutrality and also for the breaking up of Google and Facebook.

The difference is that it's a choice whether to use Google and Facebook. A lot of people are disagreeing with Facebook and there's a movement to gradually move off it. Google at least tries to appear neutral, letting people search for everything short of child porn, even the highly illegal or dangerous. CDNs seem exceptionally powerful though.

  > The difference is that it's a choice whether to use Google and Facebook. This is normally used as the main argument. I disagree. That's like saying you have a choice on whether or not you use electricity, which is technically true. How much of the popular web could you really use if you didn't use anything that touched Facebook or Google?
