@bob To some extent, likely large, we're seeing countries essentially fighting over who gets to control the internet, and corporations trying to leverage "net neutrality" as an activist cause for them to get their own claws into the control aspect.  Indeed many of the youtube changes are likely meant to manipulate people into anti-government sentiments in favour of Google's own control aspects.  There's quite a game being played there, and the attempts of many to label it in black and white terms is at best niave.
