Do you have a link? @Deleted User
Because I don't think you really need a bill of rights for the internet.
Just because the internet will never be monopolized
One could make a good and convincing argument about how Google has a natural monopoly on searchs which in essence is a monopoly on the internet.
But I don't think it's a good argument.
On your point of "How about this? Free to use, and publicly accessible social media platforms should be hands off, and not censor, but paid ones can?"
How about we don't get government involved in social media? Like the government fucks everything it touches.
Well, you might as well have more legislation and regulations, because this is not okay.
I don't understand why republicans didn't have this bill passed.
"@Shurik (Aleksey) Facebook has your info, tracks your data, and now wants your bank details, even if you're not on the platform. Where's the choice to not use it then?"
You just don't use there services. It's not hard.
An interesting point would be if the banks buy the data from Facebook and use your private dms do disqualify you from a loan or something but that's not the point you were making.
Oh, we're talking now?
Other than the fact they're RINOs who pander to the dems and other libshits.
Seriously, why aren't you people supporting such actions? The free market isn't going to save us. Google, Facebook, Twitter, and other tech and social media giants are one big monopoly.
They aren't a monopoly that will last forever if they keep up with the shit they are doing. Have you seen what happened with Twitter and Facebook stock? We don't need the government to get involved in these things. Governments regulation raises the barrier to entry and supports and enforces monopolies.
I am worried about Google but that's a different story for a different reason. @Deleted User
So, youtube censors people. We know this.
What was the solution? A new platform! Enter, BitChute.
People want monetization and Superchats, so they tried to implement a payment system.
The asked around, and got a card service to team up.
After it was found that 'racists' were using the service, the card service cancelled the contract.
So they found a new service.
That NEW service then had *it's* contract severed with FUCKING VISA.
What, so now they have to invent a whole new credit card infrastructure as well?
At what point, is digital freedom of speech protected?
Do we have to reinvent the internet?
No we don't have to reinvent the internet, we can regulate private companies who're involved with the the internet even more to protect people. We wouldn't need to do all those things if we just pass regulation that protects people's freedom of speech online. @Fitzydog
Oh, but that's a private company
No. The internet will evolve if we let it if we don't start regulating it. Freedom of speech on the internet is a tricky thing because it's not a public forum. It's a ton of small private companies working together.
Some of the private companies that do shitty things will die and be replaced.
Doesn't matter, even private companies must be subject to law, all of them.
The internet is the closest thing we have to ancapitalism.
To which laws are you referring to? @Deleted User
Yeah, that's the problem
Freedom of Speech doesn't effect (affect?) Private companies and it shouldn't
I think access to the internet is the closest thing you have to a public forum. Or the closest thing you can call to a public forum
That's what you need to control. Access to the internet. Not the internet itself.
No
That shouldn't be a problem, unfortunately it is a problem because the "muh private company" excuse and the lobbyists working for those companies, buying out politicians of the highest bidder. @Fitzydog
Let's play the AnCapistan analogy game
Try to reltell my point first
To make sure we don't have a miscommunication
Anarcho-capitalism is trash.
Because I think we are talking past each other.
Anarchy of any sort is trash.
Where did you get that from what I said?
idk, this is a weak convo
