how do u justify the platforms as monopolies, gab has already been created and still exists after having all its backend/providers pulled

I didn't put forth the notion that it is somewhat arbitrary as critique, though I can see how it comes off that way via text.

monopolies dont exist outside of government regulation such as by favors

for example, if you demand a particular good but there is only 1 person who produces it that doesnt mean its bad

@Bloodmasked People who've fled to gab etc are those who aren't welcome on the larger platforms, those who are on the larger platforms are there because they don't have to leave / don't want to have decreased view / subscriber growth.

why does youtube owe it to its creators to provide maximum growth

is a company not allowed to have opinions on who enters their business?

It doesn't owe it to them I'm talking about the incentive for creators to stay on that platform.

so why do u want to punish these companies

Also wouldn't your legislation make it so I couldn't create some to a specific need / desire ie this is a wallpaper subreddit. Haven't you removed the ability for me to remove non wallpaper posts past a certain point?

i dont agree with smaca at all

its not even good if i were to support the concept behind it

You use gab as an example but competitors like gab and bitchute are being censored and deplatformed for not subscribing to the silicon valley ideology

why would you want to put the state in charge of deciding who can think

Me?

silicon valley is mainstream because thats the culture

Oh.

Just seems like anti-trust is the best way to go tbh.

I dont want to put the state in charge but somwthing definitely needs to be done

create your own silicon valley

Considering credit card companies are now getting involved its only a matter of time before banks start refusing to deal with certain ppl or businesses

they only reflect the culture of their consumers

People who are against anti trust on this remind me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME3J1pl4cew

antitrust just means u dont believe in capitalism

Obviously not seeing as theyre censoring their customers

ie socialist thinking

@Bloodmasked I don't care about the semantics of what is and what's not capitalism. This is what I want.

i censor who i speak to is that wrong?

whats difference between myself and my company

Thats not censorship

Comparing interpersonal relations to that of an international company is somewhat of a false equivalence

censorship is only done by government

Not true

ur the only ones advocating censorship, of facebook

Any organisation with enough power can censor or at the least deplatform

Na I just want to pull em apart.

ur idea of censorship is what is known as a choice

We're not advocating censorship?

@Emile Borovich Yo how do you feel about anti-trust?

Im not keyed up enough on it to comment

ur censoring facebook
