A 'private entity' that tries as hard as it can be to be a monopoly of everything and has hundreds of millions (I won't say billions because I don't trust Facebook's own figures) of users that rely on their services
Seriously don't understand why the private company line of argument seems to hold so much sway for some people
- SantalBlush 5y agoUsers do not rely on their services. That's similar to saying users rely on Spotify's services. If anyone truly believes that Facebook's services are necessary for society, they'll need to prove it.

- SantalBlush 5y agoHere on HN, we are allowed to disagree with one another in these discussions. I provided some explanation for my position, and you're trying to tell me that I can't disagree with you. If you want me to take your position seriously, you are free to provide some supporting evidence. Telling others "Don't be dismissive" simply because they disagree with you is unproductive.
