But is the government really the way to do that? That seems extremely authoritarian. Why not do it from the ground up

2018-04-11 18:52:03 UTC  

Get people to support the cause in making new social media platforms

2018-04-11 18:52:43 UTC  

The issue is that social media is a field which encourages consolidating into a few organizations.

2018-04-11 18:53:18 UTC  

If someone wants to speak with you over social media, it's just unwieldy to have 500 different ones and update them all regularly.

2018-04-11 18:53:45 UTC  

And also "beating up businesses" is not a fair assessment of what this does.

2018-04-11 18:53:50 UTC  

It doesn't cost them a cent.

2018-04-11 18:54:03 UTC  

Yeah, but that doesn't give you a justification to weaponize the bureaucracy against them.

2018-04-11 18:54:11 UTC  

It's inherently anti-free market

2018-04-11 18:54:18 UTC  

We're using their product

2018-04-11 18:54:27 UTC  

Their service that they created and provide

2018-04-11 18:54:30 UTC  

The free market isn't always a good thing.

2018-04-11 18:54:45 UTC  

Sometimes you have to make sacrifices for the sake of the general public.

2018-04-11 18:54:55 UTC  

It's a lot better than corporatism

2018-04-11 18:55:00 UTC  

Or socialism

2018-04-11 18:55:08 UTC  

And I never said it was always a good thing

2018-04-11 18:55:12 UTC  

That's debatable if it's better than corporatism

2018-04-11 18:55:35 UTC  

But this doesn't seem like a justifiable scenario for more government control over he economy

2018-04-11 18:55:38 UTC  

Of course it is

2018-04-11 18:55:42 UTC  

Social media is the de-facto public field of engagement at the moment, all that power shouldn't be in just a few hands.

2018-04-11 18:56:07 UTC  

I'm not willing to argue the merit of entire economic systems atm, let's stick to social media.

2018-04-11 19:11:37 UTC  

What happened to our private server?

2018-04-11 19:15:16 UTC  

check your dms

2018-04-11 19:15:40 UTC  

actually, this is what happened

2018-04-11 19:15:48 UTC  

it got replaced with the new one

2018-04-11 19:15:54 UTC  

Ok

2018-04-11 19:20:43 UTC  

You know what I don’t get

2018-04-11 19:21:36 UTC  

If Ohio is so competitive, then why is it that since 1992, the Democrats haven’t controlled much in this state except between 2006-2010 cause we all know why?

Sadly true............Syria is fucked, and we're gonna have to pay for it. literally and metaphorically
