And just call them lefties

2019-09-25 11:17:10 UTC  

You're being a little bitch though my age doesn't affect the validity of my points

Bit like you praising Tony Blair's domestic policies when you weren't born yet, eh, PeP?

2019-09-25 11:17:36 UTC  

You're argument is literally I'm better then you LOL

2019-09-25 11:17:43 UTC  

Glad I make you feel threatened

2019-09-25 11:17:49 UTC  

Anyway, @PureEvilPie, I'm sure you're aware of *who* composes these lobbies as well.

2019-09-25 11:18:04 UTC  

Facebook buys up competitors.
So does google.

2019-09-25 11:18:11 UTC  

Yes

2019-09-25 11:18:18 UTC  

@Scale_e Yeah, but preventing that BAD

2019-09-25 11:18:18 UTC  

And when you have unlimited money, you get to do that

2019-09-25 11:18:23 UTC  

They’ve got a tonne of IP they’ve bought up and don’t ever intend to use.

2019-09-25 11:18:24 UTC  

Not really a free market anymore is it?

2019-09-25 11:18:32 UTC  

My argument wasn't ever that I know better it was that their goals often disregard economics in favour of social goals

They can’t do it forever.

2019-09-25 11:18:37 UTC  

I’m not better then you

2019-09-25 11:18:41 UTC  

Eventually they’ll fall.

2019-09-25 11:18:49 UTC  

I said it’s stupid to just call regulators lefties

2019-09-25 11:18:50 UTC  

Advertisers are already sick of facebooks shit.

2019-09-25 11:18:56 UTC  

Because they put in controls over the markets

2019-09-25 11:18:56 UTC  

I'm pro regulation

2019-09-25 11:19:02 UTC  

They’re hemorrhaging cash.

2019-09-25 11:19:05 UTC  

There's nothing intrinsically wrong with buying out a competitor, but that's where the one facet of intervention I do agree with comes in: trust busting.

2019-09-25 11:19:11 UTC  

I'm sorry but I think you misread the situation

2019-09-25 11:19:12 UTC  

Which regulations are you pro?

2019-09-25 11:19:35 UTC  

I'd have to think about

2019-09-25 11:19:41 UTC  

There are a ton of issues with corporations right now, with predatory purchasing of competitors, and with unfettered vertical integration

2019-09-25 11:19:50 UTC  

Leave Facebook alone. If government regulation doesn’t come in, and the cost to entry stays low, eventually Facebook will go bankrupt.

2019-09-25 11:19:54 UTC  

like george soros

2019-09-25 11:20:01 UTC  

he got so big and now he can just throw money for political people

2019-09-25 11:20:10 UTC  

kinda fucked up

2019-09-25 11:20:14 UTC  

You just gotta be patient.

2019-09-25 11:20:18 UTC  

Facebook only needs controls on who it sells the data to

2019-09-25 11:20:25 UTC  

need another billionare to get bothered

2019-09-25 11:20:32 UTC  

Like how banks can’t fund terrorist groups

2019-09-25 11:20:36 UTC  

Or money launder

2019-09-25 11:20:44 UTC  

There needs to be controls on who you can sell data to

2019-09-25 11:21:01 UTC  

Isn't it great that regulations prevented Morrison's from buying out all the major supermarkets in my town and prevent a monopoly. Now we have fantastic competition between all the major brands. <:hypersmugon:544638648721604608>
