The Biden administration last month urged the EU to reject the forced payments proposed by European ISPs, saying the plan "could give operators a new bottleneck over customers, raise costs for end users, and alter incentives for CAPs/LTGs [content and application providers and large traffic generators] to make efficient decisions regarding network investment and interconnection."

The Biden administration also said payments from tech firms may violate net neutrality principles, saying that it "is difficult to understand how a system of mandatory payments imposed on only a subset of content providers could be enforced without undermining net neutrality."

So… did someone from the administration even bother writing this themselves, or did they just copy/paste what Meta sent them?

Even if it was written by Meta, it still isn't wrong.
