Private corporations are not the government.
We’ve done fine with the current rights and freedoms, applied to governments only, for the past 200 years. I think we’ll manage for another few.
- FpUser 4y ago>"Private corporations are not the government." With all lobbying power? Yeah sure. Also publicly traded companies that are also near monopolies are not really "private companies". They have way too much power over people's lives. >"We’ve done fine with the current rights and freedoms" No we have not and what rights we have are deteriorating

They have way too much power over people's lives. None of that makes them the government or makes the rights and freedoms associated with the BoR applicable to them. They are also not a monopoly or anywhere near one. Many payment processors exist, as evidenced by the fact that literally even in the article itself the author mentions that any non-PayPal subscription is still active. Or the comment which shows a brand new one that seems to be targeted towards “free speech bastions” like this. > No we have not and what rights we have are deteriorating Source. Especially on the latter, which you clearly see this as.
