And just call them lefties
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?
You're argument is literally I'm better then you LOL
Glad I make you feel threatened
Anyway, @PureEvilPie, I'm sure you're aware of *who* composes these lobbies as well.
Facebook buys up competitors.
So does google.
Yes
@Scale_e Yeah, but preventing that BAD
And when you have unlimited money, you get to do that
They’ve got a tonne of IP they’ve bought up and don’t ever intend to use.
Not really a free market anymore is it?
My argument wasn't ever that I know better it was that their goals often disregard economics in favour of social goals
Samaritan
They can’t do it forever.
I’m not better then you
Eventually they’ll fall.
I said it’s stupid to just call regulators lefties
Because they put in controls over the markets
I'm pro regulation
They’re hemorrhaging cash.
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.
I'm sorry but I think you misread the situation
Which regulations are you pro?
I'd have to think about
There are a ton of issues with corporations right now, with predatory purchasing of competitors, and with unfettered vertical integration
Leave Facebook alone. If government regulation doesn’t come in, and the cost to entry stays low, eventually Facebook will go bankrupt.
like george soros
he got so big and now he can just throw money for political people
kinda fucked up
You just gotta be patient.
Facebook only needs controls on who it sells the data to
need another billionare to get bothered
Like how banks can’t fund terrorist groups
Or money launder
There needs to be controls on who you can sell data to
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>
