Advocates on both sides of the net neutrality debate are calling out Google for apparent hypocrisy this week after it blocked YouTube from working on Amazon's FireTV product.

People who watch a lot of YouTube videos through their Amazon streaming devices got a nasty surprise Tuesday when YouTube announced it would cut its video service from the FireTV by Jan. 1 due to a "lack of reciprocity" from the retail company. Amazon doesn't sell most of Google's hardware products and doesn't make its Prime Video service available on Google's Chromecast.
