That should be illegal.
- doodlesdev 4y agoNo it shouldn't. It's unethical, sure, but the correct way to fight this is to not give money (or your time) to companies that engage in these behaviors.
- Dylan16807 4y agoA test: if it was illegal by default, would there be a reason to make it legal?
- FateOfNations 4y ago"illegal by default" is fairly at incompatible with the concept of an open, liberal society.
- Dylan16807 4y agoThanks, I wasn't suggesting that! It's a thought experiment to look at specific categories. Maybe it's not worth making something illegal, but it's useful to answer the question to get a good perspective. In this case I would say it's definitely not something I specifically want to be legal.
- agluszak 4y agoAt this point it is barely possible to ignore Facebook (Twitter, Instagram etc. also). I'm a great proponent of the fediverse, but FB without regulation will simply eat all the ethical alternatives.
- int_19h 4y agoThe company we're talking about here is, if not an outright monopoly, a dominant market player that actively abuses their dominance to the detriment of both competitors and customers. The correct way to fight that is to make such a thing not exist anymore.
