How can I stop using those services they provide and replace them with a reasonable alternative?

Explain that to me.

And I'll believe you.

You'll be able to convince everyone here of your argument if you can do that.

But I GUARENTEE you can't.

@Tonight at 11 - DOOM I believe Monopolies are bad however i completely oppose Government regulation and i believe that the people can regulate the marekt

"Stop using Discord guys, go back to IRC"

why?

actually, no

Why haven't the people regulated the market now? LOL @The Electric Lizard

forget that question

So what?

We do nothing?

Because the consumers have chosen not to @Weez

>*Starts own Social media company
>"Woah, that's not cool"
>"Hey (Service Provider) did you know that Nazis are using your platform"
>Service Provider Flips out and Bans new Startup
>Startup complains
>"Lol, just make your own"

Repeat

We let google influence elections?

Then make your own service provider

Build a new platform from the ground up

>People can't

>Because there's a monopoly

Yes they can

Google did

>You don't understand how monopolies work

>You literally don't understand what you're arguing

Its platform didn't just appear out of no where

And people reeee when companies start moving overseas

It was built by people

Go make yourself a Google alternative.

Tell me how that goes

@The Electric Lizard allot of proprietary tech is owned by those companies

I'll be surprised if it shows up in Google search results.

Under your free market Google could just not let them show up :))

And if people have a problem with the platform they have built then it is their prerogative to create a new one

which you need to build competitive services

We let the situation stay AS IT IS and BECOME WORSE because the only allowed form of action is the one that complies with your ideology that has, so far, not reaped us any solutions to this issue? How is this a good plan? I think it's what a blinded, reality denying zealot would do. You know that meme of a cartoon dog pretending that there is no fire around him?

@Tonight at 11 - DOOM Someone will make an alternative eventually! Maybe in another 10 years we'll have one!

Let's hope the damage hasn't been too bad by that time

lmao

Free markets are good btw :))

I love capitalism :)))

I have to go now but i will finish by saying again, The people give Corporations power and they can take it away, If they choose not to and that corporation becomes a monopoly then it is on the consumer
