What aspect of “private company” do you not understand? No shit they have the power to censor on the platforms they control.
But that doesn't mean we can't have the social conversation over whether that's a reality we want to perpetuate. A tiny number of private companies have de facto control over what information the masses get exposed to, and to a lot of people, myself included, that just seems like an incredibly unhealthy state of affairs in the project towards an ever more vibrant civilization. We have the right to talk about it and decide to try to change the law.
There is an entire internet where you can get any type of information that suits your world view.
no shit, private companies have the power to set the compensation to whatever the fuck they want. end of story
It makes me wonder how much overlap there is between the "private companies can censor who they want" crowd and the "CEO salaries should be capped" crowd.
The part where they're given more power than we give the government.
Last I checked, political beliefs are not a protected class.
IMO they can't be trusted with having more power than the government. They have way too much control over what people consume on the internet.
The last thing I want is to give the government more power.
