They wouldn't be complicit. The legal structure allows companies to operate with protection from their users engaging in illegal activities until it's explicitly proven or otherwise ordered by the state.
The "we think it's clear" is the dangerous part, especially when applied outside of a few easy targets discussed here. MC/Visa have numerous examples of shutting down completely legitimate businesses, and so do Google and Apple usually with a weekly HN thread highlighting yet another startup/app unceremoniously wiped off the net. Either it's all a problem or none of it is. Do you disagree with this?
- PaulDavisThe1st 6y agoI don't care (much) about apps. Part of that is because I'm old, part of it is because I don't use a cell phone, part of it is because I do most of what people do on their cell phones from ... uhm ... more traditional computing devices. If I did care, then perhaps I'd see Google/Apple store bans etc. as more equivalent to Visa/MC payment processing bans. As it stands, I don't.
