  The government has no business banning the way private companies operate. There is no quantifiable harm. Instead, just stop using those platforms if you don't like them. It's just that simple.

    > The government has no business banning the way private companies operate. That's, like, exactly what the business of government is. > There is no quantifiable harm. If this is in reference to the particular mode of operation suggested to be regulated upthread (where it might, arguably, be true) rather than the generality in the previous sentence (where it clearly is false), then its an argument against the particular regulation, not against government regulation of private business patterns generally.

      You are correct. My first sentence was imprecise and inaccurate. Government does exist to, among other things, regulate what private businesses can do. I should have stated that governments should not create regulation when there is either no quantifiable externality or the harm is a part of a voluntary trade between private parties.

  Would this include banning retweets (or equivalent)? Because that’s a huge driver of virality.
