How is she keeping him accountable by refusing to work with him? This seems wrong on 2 ways: - It encourages others to do the same; someone doesn't agree with you on an important issue (pro life?) - just refuse to work with them. This

The Parler ban was a response from service providers so that they are not blamed for what their users (Parler) do (controversial opinion). The GME/etc ban is a response from Robinhood so that they are not blamed for what theirs users (

Is this principled? It seems to me like going against your principles/ideals just to stick it to someone you (usually) disagree with.

It's unfortunate that the one time someone from the opposing party agrees with her she calls back on something they don't agree on (and refuses to work with them because of it).

TD Canada has prevented some forms of orders (e.g. market buy), but not limit buy - I think this isn't so bad as their clients might expect the quoted price and get screwed at open because of volatility

Yes but the analogy does not hold, since Google is as close to a monopoly as you can get. If your technological overlord decides to "kick you out" and thus you get ostracized from society it is hyperbole to compare it to getting k

Comparing Google and Apple to the local pub is disingenuous. Google alone could buy all the pubs in the UK with its one-year revenue (or one-year profit, if my calculations are correct)

I agree somewhat with OP. As an example, this happened in Canada: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/ndp-jagmeet-singh-rota-raci... Not the same thing, but this level of discourse is laughable.

This is a good point, but in my understanding of dignity was more of a physical "no slave" than a mental "respect." I'm having trouble finding a good definition of that. Edit: i also understood the basic rights to b

If it becomes widespread; freedom of speech is irrelevent because the executive power bows down to populism. I agree with words being able to elicit strong emotional response in people, but I disagree that this should serve as a basis for l

Words have the potential to affect action, that is their main purpose. But actions are not caused by words but influenced by them, which imo is a big difference
