It’s the wrong analogy. Phone service is the correct one. It’s something basically everyone uses. You should be able to call or group call anyone you want. The phone company can’t claim they own the phone lines so they decide which content can be discussed or who is allowed to make a phone call. It’s that simple.
- exporectomy 5y agoWhenever someone proposes a simple solution to a social or political problem that nobody can agree on, and says "It's that simple", they're marking themselves as not understanding what they're talking about while arrogantly pretending they do. It's automatically not simple or it wouldn't even be in the news. You certainly aren't the authority on it.
- misja111 5y agoSo you would be ok with a phone company that doesn't allow certains groups of people to make phone calls? For instance, people whose political views it doesn't agree with? Or even worse, people with certain ethnical backgrounds? Of course now you might say, if such a phone company existed, those people who were denied service could just choose another one. But if this company would be the one dominating the market, this would mean they couldn't reach all the people they would want to anymore. This is the analogy with Facebook.
