Because the left that used to raise such concerns (from businesses refusing service to people based on their race/ethnicity, all the way to warning about corporate overeach), has resigned to liking it.
That's because it's used against it's ideological enemies. Of course accepting it like that is beyond stupid, based on the idea that the tides would never turn.
Whether right or left, you simply don't and should not give such control to banks, politicians, businesses or bit tech. First as a matter of principle, and second because the tide can very easily turn, and the same things can be used against them.
There are also some types that are used to bend over and forfeit any claim to citizen and consumer rights, as if businesses are above everything and should be able to do whateevr - but those are beyond redemption, and wouldn't understand the problem even if it bit them in the ass.
- Take8435 2y agoThe point of my argument is that it is not ideological. Evidence of people being shown the door by their bank is widespread for topics not ideological. What do you say in those cases? Because that's my argument.
- coldtea 2y agoThe problem is that increasingly those cases ARE ideological or political / partisan - even openly admitted as such. Dismissing it with "There's instances of it banks refusing service to folks who did nothing wrong. It happens. Either things get fixed or people part ways" implies it's just some random wrong decisions by individuals.
