Corporations regulate the internet right now

2018-10-31 18:54:24 UTC  

which is wrong

2018-10-31 18:54:34 UTC  

but imposing more regulation wont help

2018-10-31 18:56:26 UTC  

Well i cant really argue against that

2018-10-31 18:56:45 UTC  

Ok what do you think is gonna happen and/or needs to be done if anything

2018-10-31 18:56:56 UTC  

im presuming you think nothing needs to be done

2018-10-31 19:30:38 UTC  

@Beemann
```Government's purpose is to protect private property```
Its purpose is to protect the private people, not (just) their property.

2018-10-31 19:31:01 UTC  

Life, liberty and proerty.

2018-10-31 19:31:23 UTC  

Your body is your property

2018-10-31 19:31:26 UTC  

...wich is why the Gouvernment should protect the people from evil organizations such as Facebook or Twitter.

2018-10-31 19:31:32 UTC  

Wew

2018-10-31 19:31:44 UTC  

In what way should they be protected?

2018-10-31 19:31:54 UTC  

Not what they meant by property.

2018-10-31 19:32:10 UTC  

I'm the one whose statement is being questioned

2018-10-31 19:32:14 UTC  

and should uphold the freedom of the Market and suppress anti-competitive behavior from companys that can afford it - for example Geforce Partner Programme....

2018-10-31 19:32:19 UTC  

So it doesn't matter what someone else meant

2018-10-31 19:32:58 UTC  

How is the market free if the government tells companies how to run? How is free, contractual decision making anti competitive?

2018-10-31 19:33:04 UTC  

Yes it does, if you're not using the same definitions an argument is just two people yelling into the void.

2018-10-31 19:33:27 UTC  

There are multiple contexts for property, beyond "life liberty and property"

2018-10-31 19:33:34 UTC  

How's the Market free when one Company can blackmail their partners to not use the competition with for example Gaming Names??

2018-10-31 19:33:41 UTC  

Self ownership is the cornerstone of all other rights, I would argue

2018-10-31 19:33:48 UTC  

Government shouldn't tell companies how to run, except when attempting to negate externalities.

2018-10-31 19:33:59 UTC  

Again, Government should prevent abuse from all sides. They are to enforce the rules.

2018-10-31 19:33:59 UTC  

>blackmail their partners
How are they managing that?

2018-10-31 19:34:13 UTC  

If you don't do it, we do not do business with you

2018-10-31 19:34:42 UTC  

Abuse is a real flimsy word there @Stefan Payne .

2018-10-31 19:35:00 UTC  

If we are talking about things like Intel or nVidia, where Monopoly isn't far off, the Gouvernment should watch them and prevent them from abusing their power.

2018-10-31 19:35:19 UTC  

Intel is a monopoly.

2018-10-31 19:35:20 UTC  

>has competitors
>is a monopoly
Pick one

2018-10-31 19:35:27 UTC  

Not close to one.

2018-10-31 19:35:40 UTC  

It is a monopoly.

2018-10-31 19:35:46 UTC  

In what sense?

2018-10-31 19:36:15 UTC  

Every computer chip made is licensed or sold by intel.

2018-10-31 19:36:31 UTC  

Specifically CPU's

2018-10-31 19:37:25 UTC  

When AMD makes a CPU they pay intel a licensing fee for said chip.

2018-10-31 19:39:31 UTC  

Source?

2018-10-31 19:41:22 UTC  

That's from when the deal was going to expire in 2009.

2018-10-31 19:41:48 UTC  

>x86
That's not the only CPU architecture

2018-10-31 19:42:24 UTC  

And it might actually fuck us in the long run to keep using it

2018-10-31 19:42:33 UTC  

Okay, but if you want a desktop, or laptop computer that's what you're getting.
