So if I want a non-neutral carrier, I have to go to a niche social network?

Forcing channels like Facebook to be neutral carriers only makes sense if they're a natural monopoly, which they aren't.

Arguably, due to the network effect, social networks like Facebook are natural monopolies / oligopolies. Niche networks function in a way that relies less on network effects to have value to users, e.g. it doesn't matter if all your friends aren't on Hacker News.
