An open platform is like a bulletin board.
Anyone can put up a poster on a bulletin board. The person who actually built the board isn’t responsible for anything that is posted on it. All they did is use some carpentry skills to make a board.
Now, if the board maker decides to put a glass panel over it, and start reviewing what goes up on it, he isn’t operating an open platform. He’s now a publisher. He is now responsible for what people are putting up there.
So, if YouTube wants to be an open platform, great. They can do that. If YouTube wants to be a publisher, that’s fine too. But there are consequences. They’re now liable for everything that is posted on YouTube. *They’ll* be up for all the copyright issues, *they’ll* be responsible for incitement charges.

2019-07-24 02:26:35 UTC

2019-07-24 02:26:37 UTC  

that could still be covered under anti-trust legistation, if you have companies price fixing

2019-07-24 02:26:49 UTC  

it's not price fixing, they're service fixing

2019-07-24 02:26:53 UTC  

someone has to do the work for the gov?

2019-07-24 02:26:54 UTC  

deplatforming isn't price fixing

2019-07-24 02:27:03 UTC  

you want the gov to do the work THEEMSELVES?

2019-07-24 02:27:11 UTC

2019-07-24 02:27:27 UTC  

i discriminate by preference

2019-07-24 02:27:29 UTC

The fuck is being talked about here/

2019-07-24 02:27:52 UTC  

you have an absolute preference/discrimination of no trannies

2019-07-24 02:28:06 UTC  

In short, any private business, including social media companies, have the right to ban anyone, for any reason, at any time.
But, they’ll no longer be open platforms, they’ll be publishers. And they haven’t really thought through what that means.

2019-07-24 02:28:08 UTC  

yes, no trannies; no small tities

2019-07-24 02:28:10 UTC  

no communists

2019-07-24 02:28:13 UTC  

intent matters and generally these situations should be left to be solved by the individuals persons

2019-07-24 02:28:29 UTC  

there is a level at which these companies get too big and do require some govt intervention

2019-07-24 02:28:35 UTC  

the trick is determining at what point

2019-07-24 02:28:47 UTC  

intent cannot be proven

2019-07-24 02:28:48 UTC  

Drawing lines is good

2019-07-24 02:29:16 UTC  

if its a small business they should have maximum leeway to discriminate

2019-07-24 02:29:16 UTC  

cause people commit the same action with various different intentions

2019-07-24 02:29:31 UTC  

No. The government should not interfere. The free market will win out eventually. Competition is the answer.

2019-07-24 02:29:41 UTC  

no

2019-07-24 02:29:43 UTC  

anarco market?

2019-07-24 02:29:50 UTC  

no there needs to be some regulation

2019-07-24 02:30:07 UTC  

The gubment should interfere to allow health market competition

2019-07-24 02:30:24 UTC  

i love my boy ben "dont sue the jew" shapiro but the free market is not a clean and pure entitiy. people can and will always take advantage of it

2019-07-24 02:30:28 UTC  

Some, yes. Not always, and Not in this instance.

2019-07-24 02:30:30 UTC  

I'm very free market capitalist but there needs to be moral and legal component of the market

2019-07-24 02:30:40 UTC  

and before anyone counters 'intent cannot be proven' i will remind you of what a judge I once dated told me to my distain, "Since when is the court concerned about the TRUTH? it's about doubt..."

2019-07-24 02:30:51 UTC  

The free market decided it wasn't all it's cranked up to be and diversified.

2019-07-24 02:31:21 UTC  

the court IS about doubt, though i do doubt the part of the story saying you dated someone <:smugon:512048583806025739>
