But in do think designating certain ones as public sphere could work, as long as the criteria for becoming one was pretty strict
I was under the impression that private businesses were able to censor whatever they deem acceptable
It usually states it in their ToS
They are but when they become a form of public platform for everyone itโs less *social* and more media.
Private companies are able to censor at will, until they become utilities (like electricity) or market themselves as social platforms, then they're under a grey area.
I think I agree with how it's done atm, but I don't agree with how damn slow authority has been to act.
Depends if they're a monopoly as well
There's that one case where the company owned 80% of the town and was told they had to respect the bill of rights
That I agree with too.
If it's private it should have full freedom of association and speech, monopoly or not.
@K0R issue is, the government sells too much of the land, thus they literally couldn't leave their house without going on the companies property
they owned the roads, shops, houses, etc.
If you live in a location in which individual(s) you disagree with on a fundamental level own 80% of the land, I recommend you move.
The government should never auction off that much land
You have cases where your house can be literally surrounded by private property
with no public property in sight
I don't think any property should be in the hands of the state.
Private companies that are essential to the people (electric, water, gas) shouldn't be allowed to discriminate at all, same goes for social platforms. The only exception is where law is being violated
If you don't like your neighborhood, find a different one.
Why not?
Any private company based or operating in the U.S should enforce 1st amendment rights unless what they are doing is illegal (Calling to kill someone, drug selling, etc)
Refusing to give someone access to your platform is not infringing on first amendment rights.
@K0R do you know
how fucking autistic that is coming from an ancap?
"If you don't like the USA, find a new country!"
"If you don't like McNeighborhoodTM, find a new one!"
meanwhile nearly all land would be bought up instantly
if you auctioned it off with great property rights
If your business is a public space, then your business is essential to the people, because it is how they exchange positions in the marketplace of ideas, which is where the future of your country is determined.
Letting businesses have a guiding hand in public opinion is going to have effects outside of that business
state auctions off all land, companies buy it all, don't sell or you're born in a position where you can't buy
well sonny guess you should just move!
@K0R you should move to a non-statist country!
how hard is that to do?
@Deleted User
Auction off? I don't support the state auctioning off property. Not sure where you got that idea.
Why would you want the state to auction off property?
Regardless of auctioning off property, you want it all to be sold eventually
"I don't think any property should be in the hands of the state."
oof
@everyone Daily Question ๐
Should the welfare state be replaced with universal basic income? Assume the welfare state cannot be entirely destroyed in the question, only replaced.
