That's just bollocks, Scale_e
Your attempts to evoke hysteria, leading to an inconsistent application of my principles, resorting to limiting self-organizing forces in my country by electing someone not far off from the fascist mark, isn't going to work on me, Tyche.
If, however m, the government steps in and regulates social media, we’ll be stuck with Facebook/google
I do not reject my self-regulatory values.
@Jeremy The Mexicans do.
As actors in any sector get larger with a bigger market share, the barriers to entry become higher by means of entropy, and the ability for the dominant player to crush them only grows
Cough *Myspace* cough
Better services came along
MySpace died
myspace existed before the widespread adoption of the internet
I don't see a problem with regulation in and of itself it is often that the people regulating are leftists and not only do they not understand economics they disregard them in the name of their greater goal
Better services will come along and Facebook will die.
Facebook is fucking *desperate* for big daddy government to step in because they know their days are numbered.
social media is a slightly unhelpful example because a single player being dominant is one of it's biggest selling point
They’re buying up every competitor that comes along in a desperate attempt to stave off extinction.
It’s going to happen.
Yes, all these better services than Facebook all lining up to take them down, lol
hm what an interesting article ive found if old
Sam you think you understand economics better than those who work and produce the regulations?
Get over yourself
...or uncle same will regulate them. And they’ll be with us forever.
Facebook doesn't want the government to step in and fuck them the boot in the door argument is correct but it doesn't apply in this specific case
Uncledaddy
@PureEvilPie Why are you so salty all of a sudden, Imao
I’m not daft
Dude UK politics is lit right now
Salty*
If you majored in economics, @PureEvilPie, you'd learn all the regulators have no knowledge in the industries they're regulating, and thus they listen to the industry lobby.
Attorney general putting everyone in their box
Facebook is fkn desperate for regulation.
there is no need for regulation of the internet because there is no reason for people to not leave those sites
Lol, economics majors are taught how to form lobbies.
Facebook don't buy up competitors, they buy up ancilliary companies to broaden their power
It’s just a common theme in this discord, young internet dudes think they know better than educated professionals
oh this ones nice
And just call them lefties
You're being a little bitch though my age doesn't affect the validity of my points
