By deleting your account at services that show such a licentious behaviour, you can cast your democratic vote against such services. Not doing this or at least starting or joining a huge riot against such services as soon as you hear about such licentious behaviour means casting a democratic vote that what the big tech company is doing is all right.
- bratbag 4y agoI don't think you know what a democratic vote is.
- q-big 4y ago"Democratic vote" does not only mean "put ballot paper into ballot box". You can also vote with your feet.
- dane-pgp 4y agoPerhaps we need the word "agorocracy" to describe "rule by markets". That's not quite what you're proposing, since you presumably only want the market to rule over Twitter and not over the rest of society, but unfortunately the latter scenario is closer to reality than most would like. In fact, suggesting that having a few large social media companies to choose between constitutes a free market (despite the high switching costs and non-interoperable products) is as misleading as thinking that the First Past The Post voting system (and weak campaign finance laws) provides representative democracy.
