Glad to see we agree. My whole point is that claiming that we cannot regulate a company because they are "private" is an obvious fallacy - and that's exactly what the folks defending these companies claim... "They are private, so we cannot stop them from arbitrarily locking people out". But that's utter bullshit, and I'm growing very weary of the argument we should give companies the power to arbitrarily deny service with no explanation and no recourse. I don't mind the ban, I mind the lack of proper recourse. > Sometimes they didn't get there by themselves, but the public definitely didn't generally get there by itself either. It's almost like we're a society, and we must balance the needs of all parties. I'm pretty sure that being arbitrarily locked out of a digital system with no recourse is a potential major harm for folks - and I don't think the justification that "it's part of the EULA" is appropriate. At a minimum, I'd expect to see laws demanding the return of any relevant data (the user's property). But we don't even have that. It's time for regulation...
