There are similarly powerful industries and they are regulated strictly. Take banking, as an example: In theory, you can "choose" not to use a bank, but realistically, you won't be able to and still live a normal live in modern society. That's why we regulate them and disallow them to simply take your money for no reason, impose insane fees etc.. I don't see why Facebook should be given a cop-out given how essential many of their services are to a normal live.
- mannerheim 5y agoWhat service by Facebook is essential? Is posting and commenting on Facebook essential? Because that's what most people complain about when it comes to censorship from Facebook.
- iammisc 5y agoMy local politicians have closed their offices due to covid. The phones do not work because they go to the offices. The only official way to contact them is via email. The only way people seem to successfully get a response is via Facebook. Facebook has willingly inserted itelf as the arbiter of all social and governmental actions in our brave new world. Stop pretending.
- mannerheim 5y agoOK. So that's a case for forcing Facebook to allow people to contact politicians, not a case for forcing it to allow people to make posts or comments.
