This is very problematic when monopolies are involved. “You are banned from Taco Bell for the rest of your life” is very different from “You are banned from all restaurants anywhere for the rest of your life.”
If all restaurants are Taco Bell, is it reasonable to allow such bans by taco bell?
- giantrobot 3y agoActual monopolies (utility companies forex) are required to do business with people. Utility companies which almost always are regional monopolies have to deal with customers so long as bills are paid. There's also processes for halting service in the case of non-payment. The utility can't cut your power because you were mean to them on Twitter. Apple is not a monopoly anywhere on the planet and has no such requirement.
