I think the argument that corporate rights are unassailable when it comes to censoring people from monopoly or near-monopoly platforms is a little disingenuous.

I don’t mean that you can’t make the argument, I’m just not sure it’s a thing that anyone but the staunchest free-marketeers actually believes.
- toomuchtodo 6y agoI’m actually very left leaning and pro regulation and making this argument. Without any law or regulatory requirement, platforms will not do this willingly.
- shkkmo 6y agoIt sounds like you are arguing that we shouldn't pass a law requiring transparency (and providing some legal recourse) in decisions to deny access to public products/services by dominant companies I suspect you meant to just point out that until such a law is passed, we are unlikely to see transparency.
- toomuchtodo 6y agoCorrect.
