Well, maybe law has to change.
For example, in my country if you offer a service to the public you cannot refuse a customer for no reason. It's intended as an anti-discrimination law, but also as a way to protect customers from abuse.
- TomMarius 7y agoI think you don't understand what the anti-discrimination law means. That law lists reasons which you can't use to refuse service - and you're free to use any other reason to refuse service. This anti-discrimination law most probably does not force all businesses to provide services to everyone but only businesses with physical public presence.
- poizan42 7y agoHow do you know how the law works in parent's country?
- TomMarius 7y agoBecause it works the same in most countries, for a good reason. If they were from one of the very few (less than 10) countries where it's that wildly different, I assume they: 1) can't write on Hacker News (more likely) 2) would say it 3) would not use the country as an example of a functioning country And we don't like Chinese law for a good reason.
