You'd literally need to create a parallel internet and economic system at this point just to get around this shit

when the people that sell domains are sjw as well you have a huge problem

What forces of corruption? @😝JIK Bleach😜

You dont have a problem. You have a hypocrite. @Nordhand

Doesn't matter, that's the free market.

I'm aware.

This ecosystem is still super young. The internet as we know it has only been around for 1/1.5 decades.

The *ecosystem* is choking out the rest of our functioning society.

Elaborate.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that.

<:what:382980756139409409>

because muh ideoligy

This whole damn conversation

but they based in US surely they can work something out? (legislation)

You have 4 tech giants that are willing and able to control the ideological flow of natural conversation, and are being told which way to push by the Media/Political/Academic complex

Why do you want the government to get involved in the internet? Also how would you propose the government regulate the internet?

What 4 are you talking about? Google, Facebook, Twitter, and? @Fitzydog

Apple

What

or Microsoft

Basically uphold the laws of free speech regardless of the situation

What

The state can intervene if this right is infringed upon

I guess I can see Microsoft because of Bing and the power of defaults, but even then that's a pretty weak case.

Apple iMessage? Come on

Data mining from their own devices?

You think they're not doing that?

I mean iPhones are only 15% of the market.

they make fat stacks boi

Apple is trying brand themselves as the privacy guys from what I understand.

lol okay.

I got something interesting for you here from a convo on a different server
government contractors ARE bound to generally abide by constitutional protections of speech, etc
ironically for this case, every major tech company is a government contractor because the NSA paid them to spy on people
this was proven in court
they are de jure government contractors

Good luck with that when they're fully owned by China

I don't believe a god damned word any of these tech companies say

No one should

apple have shown a lot of time they are not to be trusted at all.

@franti that's an interesting argument. I need to think about it.

Do you have a link to the court case?

Examples? @Nordhand

they will clock down your old phones to make you buy the laitest one. they are big on making it laptops desigined to fail just as your warrenty runs out. you have to rights to self repar any items. the list is long on consumer hostiles polisyes they run
