That sounds eerily like censorship.

That sounds eerily like censorship.
- amelius 5y agoI don't see the analogy. They can still publish the blueprints for the device, they just can't produce it at a mass scale. The market creates a natural power imbalance, and the market has shown that it can't act responsibly here. A better analogy is the power imbalance in the relation company-versus-employees, where you create a union to break the imbalance. Except now it is a "union" of consumers. Another analogy is democracy: let's not produce stuff that a few CEOs and shareholders want, but instead, let's produce stuff that the world wants. Also helps with resource/climate/environment problems.
