Those who think it's not OK, often to want to deregulate. With no one to bribe, that brand of corruption goes away.
But they/we tend to be dismissed as crazy extremists by polite society.
- throwaway2048 5y agowith no one to regulate, facebook would never have to answer to anyone, ever.
- BurningFrog 5y agoI know this is old fashioned, but in a free society, I don't think you should have to answer to anyone, unless you commit a crime.
- dTal 5y agoYou don't think an international megacorp with the 1.2 trillion dollar market cap, under investigation for possible action or inaction leading to the subversion of the democratic process, should have to answer to anyone? You're not wrong - "might makes right" is certainly old-fashioned.
- throwawaylinux 5y agoUnfortunately, large corporations like this often utilize lobbying and regulatory capture to actually squash smaller competition which is not able to buy "justice". Might makes right is not old fashioned at all, the mighty are just better at fooling people.
- dTal 5y agoAh yes, the old "end crime by making everything legal" gambit.
