If someone has 99% of the market and there is no publicly available (i.e. to anyone) competing service, it effectively turns into free speech limitation (not legally, just effectively).
- bduerst 8y agoWhen you say market in this hypothetical, what are you referring to? Video? Cable? Newspaper? Radio? Internet? Print? All of the above? Movie Theaters effectively have their markets cornered, should they be forced to host your speech even if they don't want to?
- duxup 8y agoI'm not sure what you mean by market. Let's say people watched 99% of video on youtube. I guess that's inconvenient if you can't do your thing on youtube, but that's not a lack of free speech, it is a lack of attention. Free speech doesn't guarantee that if I go shout on a street corner I'll get as much attention as youtube or any other street corner. It has always been that way.
