Like or such as

Do you find the use of "like" appropriate in the two sentences below? Don't you think it would be better grammar to use "such as" in both of them?

1) President Trump reportedly called for fewer immigrants from “s***hole countries” like El Salvador, Haiti, and some African nations.

2) Net neutrality is the principle that Internet providers like Comcast & Verizon should not control what we see and do online.

Thank you for the help.
