Yeah I’m not asking how it’s currently handled, I’m asking how it fits into a free-speech absolutist position

2018-07-12 15:14:26 UTC  

Well, that helps. Thanks guys

2018-07-12 15:14:43 UTC  

@angeryer Absolutist means everything is allowed

2018-07-12 15:14:50 UTC  

a free-speech absolutionist might be an ancap

2018-07-12 15:14:52 UTC  

No kind of restriction

2018-07-12 15:15:06 UTC  

False advertising? Too bad suckers

2018-07-12 15:15:06 UTC  

I suppose so yeah

2018-07-12 15:15:13 UTC  

Wait for the reviews

2018-07-12 15:15:21 UTC  

buyer beware

2018-07-12 15:15:33 UTC  

The paid McReviews say it’s great!

2018-07-12 15:15:45 UTC  

That's why I'm not in agreement with ancaps

2018-07-12 15:15:49 UTC  

It's like

2018-07-12 15:16:05 UTC  

Imagine a company puts out a poisonous product

2018-07-12 15:16:15 UTC  

@Arch-Fiend I don't think "absolutionist" is the word you're looking for

2018-07-12 15:16:23 UTC  

Do we wait for enough people to die until the reviews come in?

2018-07-12 15:16:37 UTC  

ever heard of the tobacco industry shiv?

2018-07-12 15:16:45 UTC  

we actively SELL poison, and people WILLINGLY buy it

2018-07-12 15:16:50 UTC  

only sith deal in free speech absolutes

2018-07-12 15:17:32 UTC  

Hey, atleast tobacco kills slowly

2018-07-12 15:17:56 UTC  

yes but we have the data, people don't care that its pure poison 😛

2018-07-12 15:18:07 UTC  

I feel like companies (in general) have an incentive to put out a good product. The money you make from sales is less than the money you can lose via a lawsuit

2018-07-12 15:18:11 UTC  

But I could be wrong

2018-07-12 15:18:13 UTC  

I mean shit like a batch of m and ms that has red number 5

2018-07-12 15:18:21 UTC  

companies have an incentive to put out a product people want to buy

2018-07-12 15:18:27 UTC  

doesn't matter if its good or bad

2018-07-12 15:18:39 UTC  

most people against consumer protection law will usually site darwin

2018-07-12 15:18:51 UTC  

So, opinions. Is America capitalist or corporatist

2018-07-12 15:18:55 UTC  

@Dr.Wol but theres also strict liability when it comes to product quality

2018-07-12 15:19:19 UTC  

if people want to buy it, it will be of quality

2018-07-12 15:19:29 UTC  

depends on how you define corporatist

2018-07-12 15:19:38 UTC  

good quality means more sales, if people want it they'll get it

2018-07-12 15:19:43 UTC  

were certainly not fascist corporatist

2018-07-12 15:19:59 UTC  

i cant elect the ceo of youtube

2018-07-12 15:20:08 UTC  

America is a mixed economy

Capitalist + social programs

2018-07-12 15:20:29 UTC  

I wish I could elect the CEO of YouTube lmao

2018-07-12 15:20:38 UTC  

Pewdiepie for CEO of youtube

2018-07-12 15:20:43 UTC  

theres never really been a pure capitalist state

2018-07-12 15:20:47 UTC  

@Dr.Wol doesn't that kind of prove that companies have an incentive to put out good products?

2018-07-12 15:20:54 UTC  

A monkey on a typewriter would do a better job as CEO of YouTube tbh

2018-07-12 15:21:12 UTC  

it doesnt Dan,
Thats why everything is made in China

2018-07-12 15:21:27 UTC
