Then it’s not so free.
That’s market freedom but without enough anti-trust laws.
Well, it's funny that the common defense is "well, social media companies are private corporations, so they can kick off whoever they want", yet when it comes to baking a cake, suddenly that's discrimination and wrong.
Rules for thee and not for me.
You can't have your cake and eat it too.
Pun intended.
only when a christian baker does it
Muslim bakers get no issue from the media
Well, it was just virtue signalling
Oh yeah, that'd be racist and harassment.
something people can protest against with no cost to one self
exactly
Im sure theres a better way to go about looking into the social aspects of it.
Hell, even Milo found the whole thing silly and went into the background of the whole thing. He really does not like the Gay community.
no one does
I think everyone should have to follow FoS laws not just the government. It would be very beneficial to the country.
I mean, the only reason the Christian Bakery lost that court case is because they Doxxed the gay couple.
They did?
They launched a full scale harassment campaign against them
That changes everything
well then its not about FoS anymore
if its true
I didn't hear about that.
Dunno, Ill reserve judgement until I see it
Did they actually do it, or were they getting harassed the same way "Jordan Peterson sent harassers" after the debate?
Cause I never heard about that at all
but the thing is, FoS laws should apply to the government only in theory
the government has to keep the peace (which would protect people from being mobbed) and stuff like doxxing etc is illegal already, so the law (in theory) should protect it too.
FoS doesn't mean i have to like what you say, it means you have a right to say it.
if a person is behaving like a jerk using their FoS, i have every right to disassociate myself from them
thats how its supposed to work
Free market of ideas.
exactly
Yeah, but what happens when private corporations all decide they no longer want to service you?
You make new services.
well due to the dependency of the internet, i would like to see some reforms to certain platforms
but in theory it would basically be like the 2nd episode of futurama
"Oh i'm not allowed here? well i'll start my own service, with blackjack and hookers"
It’s important that monopolies are broken up though.
yes, to encourage competition
but the problem with internet companies is that its instant global
in the past you could just move and start your own service somewhere else, and gain trackion amongst the local people (cuz your competitor hasn't settled there yet) and you could thrive, grow and compete
You can't for example compete with twitter easily cuz on the internet they're everywhere already so they're in a dominant position, their stupid policies drive people away though and those can be picked up as clients for places like Gab, but the majority will still stick to twitter, meaning gab's growth is severely staggered
same with youtube and competitors
and the only way to compete properly is to offer something similar they don't have yet, which is hard too online since everyone can just copy it too
Part of the problem is most people don’t care about politics and their rights.
So many still use the platforms and don’t make a fuss.
