The fact that its an oversight to not apply it to companies like Google if they are also choosing what traffic gets to people is an oversight, to be sure.

Google acts as an ISP in a different capacity, as well. Alphabet spun off lots of parts of the company, but last I checked, they're still technically an ISP. So why wouldn't rules apply to a business that is also literally an ISP with Google Fiber?

also, it's not an "oversight". we're just literally not talking about net neutrality here and that's what I'm saying. this isn't a net neutrality problem lol
