Some people are saying they aren't, and maybe I don't know enough about the subject, but it seems like it to me.

From what I understand, they don't have ISPs treat their traffic any differently inside their networks. They just take that traffic off the ISP networks early onto their own. If that is correct and they don't do anything to hinder others from doing the same, then no, they don't violate Net Neutrality.

Its the same thing every CDN or large site does, moving their own presence closer to the customers. Google isn't violating net neutrality by having servers in the US AND Europe.
