Actually, Google and Facebook win either way
With net neutrality ISPs can't prioritize their own traffic over Google and Facebook's and the power of Google and Facebook grows. Without net neutrality, if ISPs make companies pay to get their traffic prioritized then Google and Facebook have to give up some of their cash to Verizon and anyone else who wants to play that game (I'll be charitable and take Comcast at their word)
But that's fine, because Google and Facebook have lots of money, and can afford it. Know who can't afford it? The Google of 1999 or Facebook of 2005, who could never have never grown beyond infancy if Altavista and Myspace were free to pay ISPs a lot of money to insure their traffic was prioritized and Google's and Facebook's was slowed to a crawl. Google and Facebook's money will insure that they are never challenged by any upstarts that are better than them in a world without net neutrality.
